US Halts Visa Applications From Nigerians Under New Travel Ban

The United States government has temporarily halted legal immigration applications filed by Nigerians and nationals of other countries newly added to its expanded travel ban. The decision affects both new applicants and legal immigrants already in the U.S. seeking to change their status or become citizens, marking a significant escalation in immigration restrictions under former President Donald Trump. Earlier directives ordered a complete freeze on immigration petitions from nationals of affected countries, raising concerns about fairness, the national security justification, and potential diplomatic fallout. Global affairs analyst Ejike Okpa joins the programme to examine the impact on Nigerians on the ground, whether the policy targets the right security risks, and what realistic options remain for those caught in the freeze.
