US Consulate Replies FG Says Atiku’s American Visa Status Is Confidential by Ecstasy154(m): 5:59pm On Nov 30, 2018 |
The Public Affairs Officer (PAO) of the United States of America consulate in Lagos, Mr. Brussel Brooks on Friday, said issuance of visa to Nigerians irrespective of their social standing is strictly a confidential matter. He said US Government will not discuss such confidentiality in public. Brooks spoke while fielding questions from journalists after an Education Forum, held at the Distance Learning Center, University of Ibadan. The PAO was apparently reacting to the controversies surrounding the US visa status of former vice president of Nigeria and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. The programme, entitled: ‘Teaching Resources: Availability, Applicability and Appropriateness,’ was organised by Fulbright Language Scholars’ Association under the leadership of Miss Tolu Akinwole, who said the association, being funded by the United States Consulate, has trained a total of 350 teachers in Oyo and Ondo States in 2018 with a view to igniting vibrant teachers and provide solutions to observed “inability of students to apply lessons they learn in classrooms to everyday life.” According to Brooks, the case of Atiku’s US visa status has been an issue in the papers for sometime, but ” the position of the US Mission has remained the same throughout any discussion of this issue, that visas are a confidential matter. “We don’t discuss individual visa’s status of any person, whether it be a highly rated official, a presidential candidate or an average citizen. “Anyone who applies for a visa should know that there will be some records that are confidential. It is classified as private document by the United States Government, and we never discuss them now public.” Brooks, who enjoined candidates at all levels, especially presidential, governorship and National Assembly, to focus on issue-based campaigns and avoid distractions, also advised Nigerians to ask candidates at all levels the plan they have to improve education. “Often times unfortunately, campaigns are full of distractions, things that are not that important to the lives and welfare of average Nigerians, especially the children that are with us today. What is important for them is to give them the opportunities to serve in order to thrive in today’s world. “This means they need a good education. The school should be improved. When I heard the letter from the students describing their lack of books and dearth of desks in their school. This is very disheartening. There are things that should be corrected. “I will also encourage parents and voters to ask the candidates what they plan to do to improve education. I think issue-based campaigns will be beneficial to all Nigerians,” https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/us-consulate-replies-fg-says-atikus-american-visa-status-is-confidential.html 82 Likes 7 Shares

But why is d govt and APC interested in whether d US issues him visa or not? I thought dey dared him to go to America so if Atiku is seeking visa from d US how is it d APCs business? If for anything shldnt dey b happy dat happy dat he is going to d US where he shld b arrested like dey claim? Instead of focusing on Issue based campaigns, dey'll rather indulge in smear campaign and calumny... 594 Likes 64 Shares |

Its such a relief to know that The US consulate is not dull like most "Resident Nairaland Zombies" with a 30k price tag on them, issuing atiku a visa is non of FG's business, if they feel atiku has skeletons in his cupboard concerning traveling to the US then they should not pannick with fear on hearing that atiku is making plans to get a US visa!! 335 Likes 25 Shares |

Zombies will avoid this statement by Brooks, there issue based campaign is atiku is a thief. Tell us what you have done, and what you will do rather than calling names. I still wonder how sane minds still support buhari.
