The United States of America is warning high-profile officials from Nigeria who are alleged to be involved in corruption of a possible visa ban.
This forms part of America’s commitment to promote good governance, accountability, and respect for the rule of law in partner nations.
The U.S. government had previously imposed visa bans on Nigerian politicians accused of undermining elections and democratic processes
In a post on X, the US Mission in Nigeria said the fight against corruption knows no borders, expressing its commitment to help tackle the menace.
“Even when high-profile individuals engage in corruption, they can be barred from receiving US visas,” the consulate stated.
The move has drawn mixed reactions among Nigerians. While some believe this is a step in the right direction, others want th US to back the warnings with action.
