 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The policy targets "foreign ⁠nationals who are responsible for, ​or complicit in, the enactment or ​implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or ​the incitement of imminent violence ​against members of minority ethnic or racial ‌groups ⁠in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

The Kano State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to people-centred governance  as part of efforts to achieve effective societal development.


Governor Abba Kabir, made this known during the signing of the Kano Mutual Accountability Framework, (KanMAF), and the Kano Education Emergency Response Plan, held in Kano.


The Kano Mutual Accountability Framework, (KanMAF) is designed to strengthen cooperation, between Kano State and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, (FCDO), in implementing reforms that drive development.


Meanwhile, the Education Emergency Response Plan is a two-year initiative, supported by the Kano State Government, donors, civil society organisations, and the private sector, to reverse the decline in the state’s education sector.


Governor Abba Kabir, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Farouk, described the signing as a renewed social contract between the Kano State Government, FCDO and citizens, emphasising transparency, accountability, and shared responsibility.


On her part, the Development Director, Nigeria, British High Commission Abuja, Cynthia Rowe, said the FCDO remains committed to supporting Kano’s vision for inclusive development.


The KanMAF will continue to be reviewed and reassessed to ensure it's a reflection of the UK and Kano Government’s realities.
