Abuja — The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Nigerians in Diaspora, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has advised Nigerians who have no compelling or urgent reason to travel to the United States to postpone their travel plans until the Trump administration’s policy on immigration is clearer.
Dabiri-Erewa gave this advised yesterday in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja.
The statement signed by her Special Assistant on Media, Abdurrahman Balogun, noted that the warning became imperative due to series of reports received by the office of the SSA.
Part of the statement read, “In the last few weeks, the office has received a few cases of Nigerians with valid multiple-entry US visas being denied entry and sent back to the Nigeria.
Dabiri-Erewa added that “no reasons were given for the decision by the US immigration authorities.
The presidential aide said that the statement “is only to advise Nigerians without any compelling or essential reasons to visit the US to consider rescheduling their trip until there is clarity on the new immigration policy.
She, however, reminded Nigerians in the Diaspora to abide by the rules and regulations of their host countries and be good ambassadors of the Nigeria wherever they are.
