The United States Embassy in Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos will not open for regular activities on Monday, September 1, 2025.
During the closure, Nigerians in need of urgent help from the mission will still have access to emergency contacts.
However, routine services such as visa applications and other consular matters will continue after the holiday.
The embassy in a tweet on Sunday advised those seeking appointments to plan their visits around the temporary closure.
The public holiday, which is marked every first Monday in September, is dedicated to honouring the role of American workers and has been celebrated since the late 19th century.

The development is coming, some days after the United States Mission in Nigeria introduced a new requirement for non-immigrant visa applicants, demanding that they must now disclose all social media usernames or handles used over the past five years.
