In a statement today, Presidential Adviser Bayo Onanuga described the reports as “fake news,” insisting that Nigeria continues to issue five-year visas under existing bilateral agreements. Recall that the US had recently cut Nigerian non-immigrant visas to single-entry, three-month validity, citing lack of reciprocity. However, the Presidency said Nigeria already reciprocates and accused the US of misrepresenting facts.

The Presidency affirmed its commitment to resolving the matter diplomatically.
