U.S. revokes visas of 80,000 Nigerians, other nationals

The U.S. government has announced the revocation of visas for foreign nationals.

The U.S. Department of State disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

The visa revocation, it said, was “promises made, promises kept” by the President Donald Trump administration.

The statement noted that Mr Trump “will always put the safety and interests of the American people first”.

Major reasons for these revocations include assault, theft, and driving under the influence. The State Department said 16,000 of those driving under the influence, 12,000 of those involved in assault, and 8,000 of those involved in theft had their visas revoked, respectively, in 2025.

Other reasons for these visa revocations include terrorism, supporting terrorism, public safety threats, and overstaying visas.
