 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.

 CLARIFICATION ON PRIMARIES RESULTS CONCERNING SENATORS

  

The office of the  President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio has made clarification on reports in some sections of the media claiming he promised to secure senatorial tickets for lawmakers who lost their party primaries. 


In a statement his media adviser Eseme Eyiboh said the reports are false as Akpabio did not make or authorize any such promise.


According to the statement, what Akpabio actually told his colleagues was that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress is working to resolve issues from the primaries and that the final list of candidates will be released in line with party rules.


The Senate President stressed he remains committed to party discipline and will not interfere with APC’s internal processes.

  

The statement also addressed comments about a possible Senate probe into the military over recent security incidents noting that oversight is a constitutional duty, and that Akpabio believes now is not the time for a public inquiry.


The statement further emphasized that open hearings could hurt troop morale as forces battle terrorism and banditry therefore it  favours closed-door engagement with security agencies.


The statement urges the media to seek clarification before publishing.
