Nigerian Government Rejects U.S. Travel Advisory, Affirms Nationwide Stability

Nigeria’s Information Minister Mohammed Idris says the recent U.S. advisory ordering non-essential embassy staff to leave Abuja was purely an internal precaution. He assures Nigerians that public institutions and daily life remain uninterrupted. The U.S. embassy had also warned against travel to over 20 states, triggering concern among residents. Idris insists these measures do not reflect a breakdown of law and order across the country. He highlights ongoing security gains from coordinated military operations, intelligence-led interventions, and inter-agency collaboration. These efforts, he says, continue to disrupt criminal networks and improve safety in vulnerable communities. The minister underscores that Nigeria remains open for business and tourism. He urges balanced, up-to-date reporting and ongoing dialogue between international partners and Nigerian authorities.
