In a statement released via its official X (formerly
Twitter) account on Sunday, the U.S. Mission confirmed that both the Embassy in
Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos will suspend normal operations for the
day.

Labour Day, marked annually on the first Monday of
September, is a major federal holiday in the United States dedicated to
celebrating the role, resilience, and achievements of American workers and the
labour movement.

“Please note that the U.S. Embassy in Abuja and the
Consulate General in Lagos will not be open to the public on Monday, September
1, 2025, in observance of Labour Day,” the announcement read.

The mission further explained that all routine consular
services will be paused during the holiday.

However, persons facing emergencies are advised to check the
U.S. Mission’s official website for guidance and contact details.

Diplomatic activities and consular services are expected to
resume fully on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
