Joe Biden Reverse Trump Visa Ban on Nigeria and Other Africa Countries

US President, Joe Biden, has lifted the immigrant visa ban imposed on Nigeria by Donald Trump, his predecessor. According to the New York Times, Biden reversed the ban on his first day in office and directed the State Department to restart visa processing for individuals from the affected countries.

Trump imposed the ban on immigrant visa issued to those who seek to relocate to the US on Nigeria and six other countries after expanding his controversial immigration policies. First issued as the Executive Order 13768 of January 25, 2017, the ban was amended several times in the face of numerous court challenges, with the final version barring citizens of seven countries: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, and North Korea. In January 2020, the immediate past US president signed fresh a proclamation that included Nigeria, though not as severe as those for the seven countries covered by the preexisting travel ban. While it still allowed Nigerians to visit the US, citizens were, for the most part, barred from settling in the US permanently.

Chad Wolf, acting secretary of the department of homeland security, had said the travel restrictions were imposed on Nigeria and six other nations to “address security concerns in the way the banned countries track their own citizens, share information with the U.S. and cooperate on immigration matters”. But hours after assuming office as 46th president Wednesday, Biden issued an executive order that reversed the travel restrictions, saying ”immigrants have helped strengthened America’s families, communities, businesses and workforce, and economy, infusing the United States with creativity, energy, and ingenuity.” According to Bloomberg, “the ban that Biden ended blocked entry to most people from Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and North Korea.

It also restricted immigrant visas for people from Nigeria, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar and Eritrea as well as for certain others from Venezuela and Tanzania.” It said the new executive order seeks to review other “extreme vetting” practices used by the US under the Trump administration to improve travellers’ information-sharing with foreign governments. It, however, reported that Biden’s “ambitious” immigration policies, which also seeks an eight-year path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, could face obstacles in Congress. Meanwhile, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar yesterday asked President Biden to support Nigeria’s war against terror and remove all travel restrictions imposed on Nigerian citizens by the Donald Trump administration.
