The US Embassy in Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos will remain open during the U.S. government shutdown; this includes the Consular Sections.
Prior reports to the contrary are incorrect, a statement emanating from Abuja for the USCG Lagos Information Section says on Wednesday.
However, “American Centers and Education US offices operating on em-bassy and consulate grounds that are managed by Mission Public Affairs Sections will remain closed throughout the shutdown.
“American Spaces, such as American Corners operated by partner institutions and located off consulate grounds, however, will remain open,’’ the USCG Lagos Information Section says.
