President of the United States of America, Donald Trump has imposed Visa Ban, preventing Nigerians from immigrating into the U.S.
President Trump also ensured that Citizens from Eritrea, Myanmar and Kyrgyzstan, won’t also be allowed to apply for visas to immigrate to America under the policy.
Sudanese and Tanzanian nationals will no longer be allowed to apply for “diversity visas”. This type of visa is available by lottery for applicants from countries with low rates of immigration to the US.
According to Chad Wolf, acting secretary, Department of Homeland Security, the new immigration restriction is to “address security concerns in the way the banned countries track their own citizens, share information with the U.S. and cooperate on immigration matters”.
“These countries, for the most part, want to be helpful but for a variety of different reasons simply failed to meet those minimum requirements that we laid out,” wolf told reporters.
