America news to nigeria on traveling ban
I think you may be referring to the recent travel ban imposed by the United States on Nigeria and other countries. Here's an update on the situation:
Background: On December 23, 2020, the United States government announced a travel ban on Nigeria and other countries due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19 and the availability of vaccines. The ban affects non-U.S. citizens who are not immigrants or have a valid non-immigrant visa.
Affected Countries: The travel ban applies to the following countries:
- Nigeria
- South Africa
- Botswana
- Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland)
- Lesotho
- Malawi
- Mozambique
- Namibia
- Zambia
- Zimbabwe
Exceptions: The travel ban does not apply to:
- U.S. citizens
- Lawful permanent residents of the United States
- Individuals who have a valid non-immigrant visa (e.g., business, tourism, student, etc.)
- Individuals who are traveling for humanitarian or emergency reasons
- Individuals who are traveling for official government business
Impact on Travelers: The travel ban means that non-U.S. citizens who are not immigrants or have a valid non-immigrant visa will not be allowed to enter the United States. This includes:
- Nigerian citizens who are traveling to the United States for business, tourism, or other purposes
- Individuals who have a valid visa but are not exempt from the travel ban
What Travelers Can Do: If you are a Nigerian citizen or a traveler from one of the affected countries, you can:
- Check the U.S. Department of State's website for the latest travel advisories and information
- Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate in Nigeria for guidance on travel requirements and exceptions
- Consider postponing non-essential travel to the United States until the travel ban is lifted
- Explore alternative travel options, such as traveling to other countries that are not affected by the ban
