Nigeria remains one of the banned countries at this time .. until the ban  is lifted  Immigrant visas will not be issued.

I’m not sure who you called- USCIS? But you were misinformed.

Some have gotten waivers after initial refusal: "An applicant who is subject to either P.P. 9645 or P.P. 9983 and otherwise eligible for a visa, but who does not qualify for an exception, will be refused but is automatically considered for a waiver by the consular officer during the visa interview.  Each applicant’s eligibility for a waiver is evaluated on a case-by-case basis; waivers may not be granted categorically." https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/presidential-proclamation-archive/presidential-proclamation9645.html

Spousal visas can be issued if the consular thinks you qualify for the presidential waiver.

If you called USCIS they can't help if it is at the consulate. USCIS does not issue visas.

Where is the petition at?  USCIS, NVC or Consulate.

 

Based on your timeline the last place it was is the Texas Service Center.  If so it has been sitting there too long.

 

Are you a US citizen?

 

Your "Attorney" should know what is going on:

It's affected. Look at row for Nigeria: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/presidential-proclamation-archive/presidential-proclamation9645.html "No immigrant or diversity visas, except for Special Immigrants whose eligibility is based on having provided assistance to the United States Government." The CO should consider the applicant for a waiver at the interview.
