Recall that the United States Mission in Nigeria regularly hosts press briefings and Google Hangout sessions to address issue of visa issuance in Nigeria and dispel misinformation about the processes. Some of the myths include rumours that there is a limit on the number of students’ visa issued by the United States. These issues and more will be put into perspective on August 28.
