The U.S. Embassy has said that the suspended consular services in Abuja may resume after the Eid-el-Kabir holidays.

The embassy stated this in an updated information on its website Thursday.

It read: “We regret the inconvenience this has caused to our applicants in Abuja and hope to resume operations after the Eid-el-Kabir holidays.

”Please monitor the Facebook and Webpage of the U.S. Embassy for the next status update of consular operations in Abuja.”

The embassy had in a statement on Wednesday, announced temporary suspension of its regular services for visas and American citizen services in Abuja.

It, however, noted that other offices within the Embassy remained open.
