The United States has announced imposition of Visa ban on specific individuals who attempt undermining the democratic process in the forthcoming Nigerian election.

Secretary of State, Antony Blinken who made the announcement on Wednesday, said that United States is committed to supporting and advancing democracy in Nigeria and around the world.



According to him, “Under Section 212(a)(3)C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, these individuals will be found ineligible for visas to the United States under a policy to restrict visas of those believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy in Nigeria. 

“Certain family members of such persons may also be subject to these restrictions. 



“Additional persons who undermine the democratic process in Nigeria including in lead-up to, during, and following Nigeria’s 2023 elections may be found ineligible for U.S. visas under this policy”, he said.

Secretary of State expressed further that the visa restrictions announced are specific to certain individuals and are not directed at the Nigerian people or the Government of Nigeria. 



“The decision to impose visa restrictions reflects the commitment of the United States to support Nigerian aspirations to combat corruption and strengthen democracy and the rule of law.

Meanwhile, Nigeria is preparing for its forthcoming general elections which will kick start by 24th February, 2023 as excitement is on the air with activities of party campaign going on across the country.
