The federal government of Nigeria has reacted to the United States embassy’s alert that all U.S. employees and their families are prohibited from “unnecessary” and “non-official” travel to Nigerian military and government facilities in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, while reacting in a statement on Monday, encouraged citizens to “conduct their lawful activities without fear.”
Nairametrics reports that the U.S. Mission in Nigeria had earlier informed U.S. citizens about security concerns, both global and allegedly in the FCT.
