In a statement in Abuja by Abdurrahman Balogun, Special Assistant on Media to Dabiri-Erewa, she said that the warning became imperative due to series of reports received by the office of the SSA.
“In the last few weeks, the office has received a few cases of Nigerians with valid multiple-entry US visas being denied entry and sent back to Nigeria.”
“In such cases reported to the office, such affected persons were sent back immediately on the next available flight and their visas were cancelled,” the statement said.

Dabiri -Erewa said that “no reasons were given for the decision by the US immigration authorities.”
The presidential aide said that the statement “is only to advise Nigerians without any compelling or essential reasons to visit the US to consider rescheduling their trip until there is clarity on the new immigration policy.”
She, however, reminded Nigerians in the Diaspora to abide by the rules and regulations of their host countries and be good ambassadors of the country.
