The federal government has reacted to the recent travel advisory issued by the United States of America to its citizens in Nigeria.
Recall that the United States
had warned its citizens in Nigeria of “elevated threats” to major hotels in the
“larger cities” of Nigeria.
However reacting to this on
Monday, November 6, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed
Idris, said such advisory undermines the efforts the government has been making
to attract investors to Nigeria. He also said that such advisory could cause needless
panic and have adverse economic impacts.
He also said that the federal
government has consistently prioritized the safety and well-being of all
visitors to Nigeria.
Idris added;
“We have implemented
comprehensive security measures both at the federal and state levels to ensure
the safety of tourists and international guests. These measures include intense
intelligence gathering, acquisition and deployment of additional platforms,
training and re-training of personnel, cooperation with international law
enforcement agencies, among others, to maintain a secure environment.”
