The U.S. Embassy in Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos will be closed on Monday, February 17, 2025, in observance of Presidents’ Day.
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the U.S. diplomatic mission confirmed the temporary closure, noting that normal operations would resume on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
Presidents’ Day, celebrated annually on the third Monday of February, honors past and present U.S. leaders. While the embassy and consulate will suspend routine operations, essential services will remain available through emergency contact channels.
The U.S. mission advised Nigerians seeking visas or consular assistance to plan their visits accordingly, as regular consular services will resume after the holiday.
