US embassy Abuja

The United States Mission in Nigeria has announced a temporary suspension of regular updates on its official X account due to what it called a lapse in government appropriations.

But the Mission assured the public that passport and visa services would continue as the situation permits.

The Mission disclosed this in a post on its verified X handle, @USinNigeria, on Saturday.

According to the statement, the account will not be updated regularly until full operations resume, except for urgent safety and security information that may be necessary for the public.“Due to the lapse in appropriations, this account will not be updated regularly until full operations resume, with the exception of urgent safety and security information,” the post read.
