“No. It’s not a consideration when doing your interview.
Be comfortable. Don’t feel like you need to put on a suit if you don’t usually wear a suit. Don’t wear a suit.
Wear what you would wear if you are going to any normal appointment.
We want you to be you. We want you to be as relaxed as possible for the interview. Talk to us.”
The Embassy on Monday, insisted that contrary to popular opinion, it doesn’t enjoy denying Nigerians visa.
