The United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has updated its Travel Advice for Abuja from ‘Amber’ to ‘Green’ and advised against all but essential travel to Nigeria’s political capital.
FCDO in a statement also warned British nationals to avoid 22 states in Nigeria.
“There continue to be a number of states in Nigeria where we advise British Nationals against all but essential travel,” the statement read.
“These include: Bauchi, Kano, Jigawa, Niger, Sokoto, Kogi, Abia, Plateau, Taraba, within 20km of the border with Niger in Kebbi State and non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers States. We also advise against all travel to: Borno State, Yobe State, Adamawa State, Gombe State, Kaduna State, Katsina State, Zamfara state, and the riverine areas of Delta State, Bayelsa State, Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State.”
The FCDO said its travel advice is constantly reviewed to make sure it reflects the current situation in Abuja and Nigeria.
The statement also noted that the British High Commission in Abuja is open from Tuesday 8 November 2022 for normal services.
