OpenLife Nigeria reports that the United States and at American embassies and consulates overseas has made fresh clarifications on passport and visa transit services.

The embassy  further clarified that scheduled passport and visa transit services in the United States and at American embassies and consulates overseas would continue as the situation permits.

The United States Mission in Nigeria has announced the suspension of regular updates on its official Facebook account due to a lapse in appropriations affecting government operations.

It further clarified that scheduled passport and visa transit services in the United States and at American embassies and consulates overseas would continue as the situation permits.

“Due to the lapse in appropriations, this Facebook account will not be updated regularly until full operations resume, with the exception of urgent safety and security information.”

The Mission explained that although normal updates have been suspended, consular services remain available and are not entirely disrupted by the appropriations lapse.

“At this time, scheduled passport and visa transit services in the United States and at U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas will continue during the lapse in appropriations as the situation permits.”
