The United States has warned that corrupt Nigerian government officials risk visa restrictions, stressing that “fighting corruption knows no borders or limits on accountability.”
The United States has cautioned that corrupt Nigerian government officials could face visa restrictions.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Monday, the US Mission in Nigeria declared: “Fighting corruption knows no borders or limits on accountability. Even when high-profile individuals engage in corruption, they can be barred from receiving US Visas.”
The US has previously imposed visa bans on politicians accused of electoral malpractice and undermining democracy in Nigeria.
The latest warning comes amid growing public concern over alleged mismanagement of public funds and abuse of office. Washington said the move aligns with its broader strategy to promote good governance, accountability, and respect for the rule of law in partner countries.
