FG disagrees with US advisory directing citizens to avoid Nigeria
The Nigerian government has disagreed with the United States which urged Americans to avoid travels to Nigeria and asked non-essential American embassy officials to leave the country.
The Nigerian government described the US advisory as unbalanced and not reflective of the security situation in the country.
Rabiu Ibrahim, a spokesperson to Nigeria’s Information Minister, Mohammed Idris, urged Nigeria’s partners to ensure balanced and up-to-date reporting that reflects the “progress being made” to secure Nigeria.
“We encourage our international partners to continuously engage with Nigerian authorities to obtain a more comprehensive and current understanding of the situation on the ground,” Ibrahim wrote in a statement posted on X on Thursday.
