 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. According to the U.S. Department of State, the initiative is designed to bolster compliance with local immigration laws and drastically reduce visa overstay rates. How the Visa Bond Policy Works Under the permanent guidelines, U.S. consular officers have the discretion to instruct eligible applicants to post a bond as a prerequisite for visa issuance.

DANGOTE TELLS WEALTHY NIGERIANS TO STOP BUYING ROLLS-ROYCE. (PHOTO).


 Dangote tells wealthy Nigerians to stop buying Rolls-Royce


Africa’s number one billionaire and Chairman of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has called on wealthy Nigerians to redirect funds currently spent on luxury items such as Rolls-Royce cars and private jets into establishing industries that drive economic growth and create employment opportunities.

Speaking after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at Aso Rock Villa on Saturday, Dangote lamented the culture of extravagant consumption, stressing that the nation’s development depends heavily on the responsibility of local investors.

“If you look at the Nigerian policy before, during the military, everybody from the president downwards used Peugeot 504. That was the highest. So, when a president is using 504, you cannot come as a commoner, as a businessman, or whoever you are, to be using Rolls-Royce,” he said.

Dangote criticised the proliferation of private jets at Nigerian airports, arguing that such wealth would be better invested in productive ventures.

“If you have money for a Rolls-Royce, you should go and put up an industry in your locality or anywhere in Nigeria where there is a need.

“It pains me when I go to the local airport, whether here or in Lagos, and even finding a parking space for your plane is impossible because everybody has a private jet. Those private jets could be in industries creating jobs,” Dangote is quoted by PUNCH.

According to the richest businessman in the country, national development requires a strong focus on manufacturing and agriculture, supported by robust banking systems.

He added that Nigeria is in urgent need of job creation as her population grows by 8.7 million yearly.
