The United States Embassy in Abuja and Consulate General in Lagos will be closed on Thursday, January 9, 2025
This is in honour of former President Jimmy Carter.
The US Mission in Nigeria made the announcement in a post on X last night.
“We remember former President Jimmy Carter, a tireless advocate for peace, democracy, and human rights,” the post read.
“As the first US President to visit Nigeria, he strengthened US-Nigeria relations and supported Nigeria’s democratic process. His legacy continues to inspire us.”
