Nigeria and 17 other countries are not included as beneficiaries of the United States of America Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery for 2025.
Last year, the US opened the applications for the registration process of the DV programme for the fiscal year 2025.
The DV programme is designed to provide a unique opportunity for nationals from countries with historically low immigration rates to the US.
For the DV2025 programme, individuals from countries who have sent more than 50,000 of their nationals to the United States in the past five years are ineligible to apply.
