“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,” it said.
The statement reinforced the US commitment to global anti-corruption efforts, coming amid President Donald Trump’s tougher immigration policies.
In 2020, the United States imposed visa restrictions on Nigeria that applied solely for immigrant visas, leaving official, business, tourism, and student visas unaffected.
Similarly, in May 2023, the US announced visa bans on persons who disrupted the general elections in Nigeria.
