The U.S. Department of State is realigning visa operations in Africa to regional hubs as part of a long-standing practice that strengthens national security by promoting more uniform screening, vetting, and adjudication standards, as well as improving efficiency and adjusting to shifting U.S. immigration policy priorities and objectives. Effective August 1, 2026, several U.S. Embassies and Consulates in Africa will no longer be offering routine visa services, including U.S. Embassy Abuja. Citizens and residents of Nigeria who wish to apply for a U.S. visa must schedule an appointment and pay the required visa fee at U.S. Consulate Lagos, the new designated location.

@mikeachimugu01 one of those with hidden objects or the likes. Please also look at how these foreigners treat Nigerians in Nigeria, and how they so it without fear. I can only imagine what that same man can do to a Nigerian in Cairo! /3
@mikeachimugu01 begging me not to argue with him. I asked: what is the worst he could do to me? A Nigerian in Nigeria who has not committed any offence but simply dresses up in a traditional attire with walking stick to match. By the way, they checked and it was wooden and not /2
The Executive Secretary, Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe FNSE and his management team, earlier today received in audience the newly appointed Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG), Engr. Dele Falade, alongside members of the company’s leadership team at the Board’s liaison office in Lagos.
The meeting provided an opportunity to formally introduce the new NLNG helmsman, who assumed office in April 2026, and to reaffirm the longstanding strategic partnership between both organizations. Discussions focused on strengthening collaboration, advancing Nigerian content development, and supporting key projects that will drive growth in the nation’s oil and gas industry.
A major highlight of the engagement was the progress report on the NLNG Train 7 Project, which has now reached approximately 90 percent completion. With construction activities nearing completion, efforts are gradually shifting towards pre-commissioning and system completion ahead of the introduction of hydrocarbons next year. The project has exceeded initial employment projections, engaging about 16,000 direct workers at peak construction and generating thousands of indirect jobs, thereby contributing significantly to employment creation, youth empowerment, and economic development.
The meeting also underscored the importance of accelerating the Shipyard Development Project to enhance Nigeria’s dry-docking and in-country maintenance capabilities. NCDMB leadership commended NLNG for its consistent commitment to Nigerian content development, stakeholder capacity building, and impactful corporate social responsibility initiatives. Both organizations reaffirmed their commitment to deepening collaboration in support of the Board’s 10-Year Strategic Roadmap and advancing sustainable growth within Nigeria’s energy sector.

The first Global 8000 delivered in Africa is now in service with Nigeria-based @BUAgroup.
This milestone reflects the growing importance of high-performance business aviation for global operations, with non-stop connections from Lagos to destinations such as Los Angeles, Perth and Tokyo. A defining moment for the Global 8000 program and for the region.
So, NONE of the politicians have bothered to SUSPEND their campaign, even if symbolically as our children & their teachers continue to remain in captivity? This cannot be normal. Lord have mercy! 😢🙏
