The United States has announced that U.S mission in Abuja will not be open on Monday, May 26, to commemorate Memorial Day.
The Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday held annually on the last Monday in May.
The U.S. Mission in Nigeria gave this information on the closure via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that the day is set aside to honour American military personnel who died while serving their country.
Memorial Day is a somber occasion in the United States, marked by ceremonies, flag displays, and tributes to fallen servicemen and women.
The closure affects all routine consular services at both the embassy and the consulate for the day.
Operations will be resumed on Tuesday, May 27. The U.S. Mission urged all individuals with urgent consular needs to consult its website for emergency contact information.
