The Politico, citing two people familiar with the matter, said the list of countries is not yet final and is subject to change, but may include: Belarus, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania, citing two people familiar with the matter.
The Associated Press reported that the countries on the proposed expansion list include allies that fall short on certain security measures after the Department of Homeland Security reviewed security protocols for about 200 countries.
This development might be a very hard time for some Nigerians planning to either relocate or visit the God’s own State for one reason or the other.
