The United States Embassy in Nigeria has said that the suspended consular services in Abuja may resume after the Eid-el-Kabir holidays.
It stated this in an updated information on its website on Thursday.
The embassy had in a statement on Wednesday, announced temporary suspension of its regular services for visas and American Citizen Services (ACS) in Abuja.
It also stated that the services were suspended due to reasons beyond its control.
“We regret the inconvenience this has caused to our applicants in Abuja and hope to resume operations after the Eid-el-Kabir holidays.
”Please monitor the Facebook and Webpage of the U.S. Embassy for the next status update of consular operations in Abuja,” the message on Thursday reads.
It, however, noted that other offices within the embassy remained open.
The embassy stressed that consular functions at the US Consulate in Lagos were not affected by the development.
The mission encouraged applicants to contact the Consular Office in Lagos for immediate emergency travel.
“Please monitor the Facebook and Webpage of the U.S. Embassy for updates on consular operations. Scheduled visa and ACS applicants for Abuja will be contacted for rescheduling,” the embassy added.
