 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas. First introduced as a pilot scheme in 2025, the policy targets applicants seeking B1 and B2 visas, which are designated for business and tourism.

LASG ANNOUNCES TRAFFIC DIVERSION AT APAPA DOCKYARD ROAD FOR LEVEL CROSSING MAINTENANCE

The Lagos State Government has announced that traffic will be diverted at Apapa Dockyard Road from 6:00 pm on Sunday, 23rd of January till 6:00 am on Monday, 24th January, 2022 for maintenance works on the Level Crossing in continuation of the Nigerian Railway Modernisation Project (Lagos-Ibadan section).

A statement signed by the Honourable Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde disclosed further that the maintenance works were vital to keeping the rail track in proper condition to ensure the safety of the commuting public.

Explaining the traffic diversion plan, he stated that while a side of the road is being repaired, a counterflow will be created on the free lane to enable motorists plying the route to reach their desired destinations without much difficulty.

Oladeinde urged road users to cooperate with the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) to minimise inconveniences that may be experienced during the maintenance period.

The Commissioner also appealed to residents, especially motorists plying the axis, to fully comply with the interventions made available to ease traffic flow, as the project is aimed at achieving a seamless Multi-Modal Transport System that will provide viable options for movement and subsequently meet the transportation needs of the State’s large population.
