The US Embassy has announced the closure of its branches in Abuja and Lagos on July 4, 2025, in observance of US Independence Day.
This annual holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, marking the day the Continental Congress formally declared the 13 American colonies' independence from British rule.
The closure affects routine consular services, including visa processing, at both the embassy and consulate.
However, emergency services may still be accessible through official contact channels. Normal operations are expected to resume on Monday, July 7, 2025.
It's worth noting that the United States gained its independence on July 4, 1776, from Great Britain.
