Some Nigerians will be denied visas to the United States.
The US has said that some Nigerians won't be able to come to the country because they worked against freedom in the country's general election in 2023.
Antony J. Blinken, the US Secretary of State, said in a statement that the US is committed to supporting freedom in Nigeria and all over the world.
"Today, I'm going to tell you that we've decided to make it harder for some people in Nigeria to get visas because they tried to hurt the political system during the Nigerian elections in 2023.
Some people will be affected by these steps, but neither the Nigerian people nor the Nigerian government as a whole will be punished.
The National Immigration Act's section 212(a)(3)(C) states that certain individuals will have difficulty obtaining visas to enter the United States. This tactic is used against those who are said to be behind or complicit in the destruction of freedom. People like these rig elections, intimidate voters with violence and engage in other activities that undermine Nigeria's democratic system.
According to the statement, the decision to impose visa restrictions demonstrates that the United States continues to support Nigeria's efforts to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.
