The US Mission in Nigeria has denied the report that it has placed indefinite ban on student visa for Nigerians.
The report which has trended on social media recently was described as FakeNews by the Mission through its official Twitter handle.
The tweet read, “#FakeNews Alert! Be advised, reports of Student Visa ban for Nigerians is false. If you have seen such manufactured item on Facebook and Twitter or received it via WhatsApp, please communicate that it is false.”
The unconfirmed report had said the US targetted countries with citizens who are fond of overstaying during their visit.
It will be recalled that the US embassy in Nigeria last month suspended drop box service or interview waiver for Nigerians renewing visas.
