U.S. Embassy Closes Abuja Consular Section by mekaboy(op): 9:50am On Aug 15, 2018
“Scheduled visa and ACS applicants for Abuja will be contacted for rescheduling.”

The United State’s Embassy has temporarily closed its consular section in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja.

A notice by the U.S. embassy on Tuesday said until further notice, all consular appointments at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja have temporarily ceased for both visa and for American Citizen Services.

It added, however, that consular functions in U.S. Consulate Lagos are not affected and will continue.

“Scheduled visa and ACS applicants for Abuja will be contacted for rescheduling,” the notice said.

“American citizens in northern Nigeria with emergency services needs should continue to contact the after-hours emergency number for Abuja at 09461-4000 and press “0” to go to the operator to request assistance.

“American citizens in northern Nigeria with urgent travel needs who are travelling before Tuesday and who are willing to re-schedule their travel through Lagos should contact the ACS office at Consulate Lagos ( 01460 3400 and LagosACS@state.gov ) to discuss their options.”

The notice explained further that those travelling after Tuesday should follow up with Abuja ACS to confirm their appointments closer to their appointment date.

For details of the consulate operations, the notice directed affected people to monitor the Facebook and Webpage of the U.S. Embassy for a later announcement of resumed consular operations in Abuja.

The consulate office in Lagos is located in Victoria Island.

We will be waiting patiently for the reopening.
They surely have a genuine reason for the closure.

the country is correctly unstable as oshiomole keep insisting to impeached saraki, there is already intelligent reports to suspend operation especially in abuja and northern region. and a military coup or take over is been planned maybe at the moment.

The more difficult it is to emigrate...the better for us all.

Let people go abroad get quality education and be sent back to develop their home countries (UK especially)

Let us all tackle our problems from within
