The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has reacted to the immigrant visa ban slammed on Nigerians by the United States.

Adeboye, who led members of his church in a prayer walk against insecurity in Nigeria as declared by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

Recall that The New Diplomat had recently reported plans by the Trump administration to impose massive visa restrictions on Nigeria and six other countries. The list of affected countries listed  then were Belarus, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania.

This measure which was coming three years after the Trump administration’s first Executive Order which banned seven countries with Muslim nations in the majority had attracted concern  as Nigeria is said to be a United States strategic partner. Apart from being the most populous country in Africa she has a huge Nigerian diasporan community in the United States with the result that Nigerian-Americans are among several US citizens  excelling in key sectors such Medicine, Law, Academia, Business, Public Policy, etc.

It would be recalled that after the first Executive Order, the Trump administration issued a second travel ban in March 2017, and a third in September, 2017. The travel bans which were initially blocked by two appeal courts orders were, however upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court after a slew of litigations.
