The Federal Government has described the recent travel advisory issued by the United States, which authorised the departure of non-emergency personnel from its embassy in Abuja, as a routine precaution that does not reflect Nigeria’s overall security situation.
The government reassured citizens and international partners that public institutions across the country remain fully operational.
In a statement issued by the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation and signed by Rabiu Ibrahim, Special Assistant (Media) to the minister, Mohammed Idris, the ministry said that there had been no disruption to governance, economic activities, or daily life, despite the advisory.
“The Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, described the U.S. decision as a routine precaution guided by internal protocols, noting that it does not reflect the overall security situation across Nigeria,” the statement partly read.
The minister explained that the US decision was guided by its internal protocols and should not be interpreted as an indication of a general breakdown of law and order in Nigeria.
“While we acknowledge isolated security challenges in some areas, there is no general breakdown of law and order, and the vast majority of the country remains stable,” he was quoted as saying.
