US to Revoke 200,000 Visas, Nigeria Among Top Targets

The United States is preparing to cancel at least 200,000 visas, according to the Department of State. The move, first reported by Daily Trust, signals a major shift in US immigration enforcement. The visa revocations will affect individuals who have violated US entry terms or are deemed security risks. While the Department of State did not specify which nationalities will be hit hardest, Nigerian applicants and current visa holders are expected to face significant impact. This action follows a broader review of visa policies aimed at tightening border control. The exact timeline for the revocations has not been released, but officials say the process has already begun. For Nigerians, this could mean canceled travel plans, disrupted work permits, and family separations. The US embassy in Abuja has not yet issued a public statement. The State Department advises all visa holders to check their status online and contact the embassy for updates. Further details are expected in the coming days.
