United States (US) 46th president, Joe Biden, on Wednesday signed an executive order to revoke the travel ban on citizens from Nigeria, Eritrea, Yemen, Sudan and others.
The travel ban was initiated by his predecessor, Donald Trump, when he first entered office.
Also repealed was a 2017 travel ban on people from several predominantly Muslim countries.
Out of the 17 executive orders, memorandums and proclamations revealed on Wednesday, six dealt with immigration — mostly an attempt to undo some controversial Trump-era policies
Biden had referred to the policy as discriminatory.
