Metro Trump To Ban 2-Year Visa For Nigerians Entering US

-
US President, Donald Trump's executive order may affect Nigeria's
two-year visa validity entry into America if President Muhammadu
Buhari-led federal government failed to take proactive measures.
According to The Cable analysis on the Trump's executive order,
Nigerians will no longer be issued with American entry visas which have
two-year validity.
The online medium said Nigerians who hold dual nationality will be
affected if their other passport is from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan,
Libya, Somalia and Yemen - the seven Muslim-majority countries “of
concern”.
The Cable analysis shows that at least two clauses of the Executive order will affect Nigerians directly.
Section 9 of the Executive Order states: “The Secretary of State shall
review all non-immigrant visa reciprocity agreements to ensure that they
are, with respect to each visa classification, truly reciprocal insofar
as practicable with respect to validity period and fees, as required by
sections 221(c) and 281 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1201(c) and 1351, and
other treatment. If a country does not treat United States nationals
seeking nonimmigrant visas in a reciprocal manner, the Secretary of
State shall adjust the visa validity period, fee schedule, or other
treatment to match the treatment of United States nationals by the
foreign country, to the extent practicable…”
