The US advisory had cautioned its personnel against non-official travel to government and military facilities in Abuja, citing “general global developments.”
However, in a statement on Monday, June 23, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said there was no specific threat to warrant alarm, and that the capital remains safe for citizens, residents, and visitors alike.
“Abuja remains safe for citizens, residents, and visitors alike,” Idris stated.
“Nigeria’s security agencies are working around the clock to ensure the continued safety and protection of all residents of the FCT and across the country.”
