The United State Embassy in Nigeria has temporarily suspended visa and consular services in its Abuja section.

“Due to reasons beyond our control we are temporarily unable to provide regular services for visa and American Citizen Services in Abuja but other offices within the Embassy remain open,” the consulate said in a statement on its website.

According to the embassy, applicants are directed to contact the Consular Office in Lagos for "immediate emergency travel."

"Please monitor the Facebook and Webpage of the US Embassy for a later announcement of resumed consular operations in Abuja,” it added.
