    Visa restrictions will be imposed on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the democratic process during Nigeria’s 2023 elections cycle, according to the United States Government.

    This was made known in a statement by the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, on Monday, published on the US government’s website.

    The US government disclosed that the decision to impose visa restrictions reflects the continued commitment of the United States to support Nigerian aspirations to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.

    “Today, I am announcing that we have taken steps to impose visa restrictions on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the democratic process during Nigeria’s 2023 elections cycle.”

    While noting that: “the United States is committed to supporting and advancing democracy in Nigeria and around the world,” Blinken added that the visa restrictions “are specific to certain individuals and are not directed at the Nigerian people or the government of Nigeria as a whole.”

    Blinken added: “Under Section 212(a)(3)C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, these individuals will be subject to restrictions on visas to the United States under a policy covering those believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy.”

    However, as of the time of filing this report, no name of any individual has been published.

    “These individuals have been involved in the intimidation of voters through threats and physical violence, the manipulation of vote results, and other activity that undermines Nigeria’s democratic process.”
