Biden reverses US travel restriction on Nigeria and other countries. 

The president of United States Joe Biden has reversed a number of policies enacted by his predecessor Donald Trump, including an immigration ban against Nigeria, Yemen, Venezuela and other countries. However, With the travel restriction, Nigerians were denied the opportunity of applying for US green cards which gives them an official immigration status in the United States.

“The ban that Biden ended, blocked entry to most people from Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and North Koria.  

“It also restricted immigrant visas for people from Nigeria, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, and Eritrea as well as for certain others from Venezuela and Tanzania.”and the reversal of the immigration policies is part of Biden’s campaign promises to enhance a new course for the nation.

Former President Trump’s administration in February 2020 placed Nigeria on a travel restriction it said was aimed at pulling down on illegal migration.

In addition to this,Donald Trump also earlier declared that he would suspend entry to travellers from seven mostly Muslim nations- Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan.whereas the policy also suspended refugee resettlement.

But with the success that embraced Biden, he immediately signed an executive action ending restrictions on travel and immigration from some predominantly Muslim countries.

And the executive directs the State Department to resume visa processing for those countries and develop a plan to address people affected, such as those who were denied entry to the US.

In reactions to this great development, US. Citizens appraised Joe Biden for taking such move at this earlier stage of his administration.
