January 11, 2012 - A nationwide strike began on Monday in Nigeria.  At this time, BAL’s network providers indicate that all business operations have ceased and as such, visa services will be minimal at best in order to protect the lives and property of legal representatives in the country.  Although previous similar strikes have concluded within two to three days, there is no way to predict when regular business will resume.

This alert has been provided by the BAL Global Practice group and our network provider located in Nigeria.  For additional information, please contact GlobalVisaGroup@balglobal.com.
