The United States government has defended the recent indiscriminate visa revocations affecting Nigerians with valid U.S visas, saying the move was borne out of the need to uphold the country’s national security and guarantee the safety of its citizens.
This is even as the US Embassy in Nigeria yesterday issued an updated security alert, warning its citizens in Nigeria against travels to military and government facilities, especially in Abuja.
It had emerged earlier in the week that the US Embassy in Nigeria had embarked on revocation of valid visas previously issued to Nigerian citizens.
