Travel Warning U.S Department of State issues new directive to citizens in Nigeria

American citizens have been advised to avoid Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Rivers, Plateau, Kano and Yobe among other states.

The United States Department of State has issued a new directive warning its citizens of the security risks inherent in travelling to and within Nigeria.

The warning dated 9th February 2017, recommends that US citizens should avoid all but essential travel to Adamawa,Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Kano, and Yobe, due to the unpredictable security situation in the North-East.

This follows a security warning issued by the US embassy onTuesday, January 24, 2017, advising citizens and officials to show extra consideration for their personal safety and security as they travel within Nigeria.

It was issued in response to the government’s plans to shut down the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport for repairs and the re-routing of air traffic from that airport to the Kaduna airport, as well as the international airports in Lagos, Kano and Port Harcourt.

According to the document issued by the Embassy, this more recent warning is driven by heightened insecurity in the North of the country, mostly as a direct result of the activities of Boko Haram.

The government’s efforts to weaken the terror group, have met a degree of success; the military has reclaimed vast areas in territory and a number of the Chibok girls have either been rescued or released. However, the group still pulls off isolated attacks, especially bombings, in public gatherings, social events or highly populated areas.
