The United States of America’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard, said the recent visa ban to Nigerians would be reviewed, if efforts were quickly made to correct the “faulty lines” in the information sharing system.
She made the disclosure during a visit to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, in Abuja.
Ambassador Leonard said: “I need to clarify something for you here. The immigrant visa ban does not affect people who are currently resident in the United States. It does not cancel the status of anyone who currently lives in the United States.
“What Secretary Pompey said was that it was meant to be temporary. And it is about problems with information sharing which are investigable, achievable and resolvable and we look forward to Nigeria in a very short time being able to meet those information sharing goal so that the decision can be reviewed.”
