The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to reciprocate the recent U.S. policy mandating Nigerian visa applicants to disclose their social media profiles and activities from the past five years.

Officials say the move will ensure fairness and mutual respect in bilateral relations, stressing that Nigeria will apply similar scrutiny to U.S. citizens seeking entry into the country.

The decision comes amid growing debate over digital privacy, national security, and the diplomatic balance between both nations.
