The United States government has directed Nigerians seeking visas to provide details of their social media activity for the past five years.
The directive was shared by the U.S. Mission in Nigeria on its official X account, stating that all applicants must include every username or handle they have used across different platforms during that period.
The requirement applies when filling out the DS-160 visa application form.
According to the instruction, applicants are also expected to confirm that the information they provide is correct before signing and submitting the form.
Anyone who leaves out such details risks being denied a visa and may also face restrictions on future applications.
This move by the U.S. authorities is aimed at tightening the vetting process for Nigerians applying for entry into the country.
