The United States Embassy in Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos will remain closed on Monday, May 25, 2026, in observance of Memorial Day in the United States.
The US Mission in Nigeria announced the closure in a statement shared via its official X handle on Sunday.
According to the mission, Memorial Day is a US federal holiday observed annually on the last Monday in May to honour American military personnel who died while serving their country.
“The U.S. Embassy in Abuja and Consulate General in Lagos will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2026, in observance of Memorial Day — a U.S. federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May in honor of U.S. military personnel who lost their lives in service of their country,” the statement read.
The closure means routine consular services, including visa processing and American citizen services, will not be available on the day.
Applicants and other visitors with scheduled appointments were advised to monitor official communication channels for possible rescheduling updates and further information after normal operations resume.
