1. Travel insurance does not cover 30,000 Euros – it is a mandatory requirement that the travel insurance has a minimum cover of 30,000 Euros
2. The embassy does not think that you will return to Nigeria – you cannot stay in Luxembourg for an indefinite period, especially if you are only applying for a 90 day visa, so you must be clear about your intention to return to your home country
3. There has been an error processing your application – human errors do occur. If you are absolutely sure that your application is all present and correct, then you have the right to appeal
4. Lack of funds – you must be able to afford your trip and your bank statements should prove this
