The United States government says it has imposed visa restrictions on politicians and individuals who undermined the just-concluded Nigeria’s 2023 elections.
The Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, in a statement on Monday, said the US is committed to supporting Nigeria’s aspirations to solidify the democratic process and rule of law.
Blinken, however, did not specify individuals that will be victims of the visa bans.
In a tweet on Monday, Blinken said, “We have imposed visa restrictions on specific individuals who undermined the democratic process during Nigeria’s 2023 elections.
“We remain committed to supporting Nigerian aspirations to strengthen democracy and rule of law.”
