The United States is planning to place stiff travel restrictions on Nigerians aiming to enter America.
According to Wall Street Journal, apart from Nigeria, other countries to be affected by the new policy include Belarus, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Sudan and Tanzania.
The countries will not face blanket bans on travel to the U.S but could have restrictions placed on specific types of visas such as business or visitor visas, administration officials said.
The report states that some countries could be banned from participating in the diversity visa lottery program, which awards green cards to people in countries with low levels of immigration to the U.S.
President Donald Trump has called for an end to that program, saying it lets undesirable people into the U.S.
