British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued a travel advisory on Friday, warning citizens against travelling around several parts of Nigeria ahead of nationwide protests.
The FCDO is responsible for advising British nationals about the risks of travelling to different countries and helping them make informed travel decisions.
In the advisory published on the UK government’s website, the FCDO based its alert on the upcoming #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest set to begin in Nigeria on August 1, 2024, which is already gaining momentum.
New information as of July 26 indicates that widespread public demonstrations are a possibility across Nigeria,” the FCDO’s update read as it advised British citizens to research their destinations thoroughly before travelling.
The FCDO identified some states in five of Nigeria’s six regions where the nationwide protests may pose risks. It advised citizens to avoid these states and warned that “your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against FCDO advice.”
It warned against all but essential travel to “Abia State, non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, and Rivers and Akwa Ibom States, Anambra State, Imo State.”
The FCDO also warned about travelling to the Nigeria-Niger Republic land border, which “has been closed by Nigerian authorities in response to the political situation in Niger.”
Citizens planning to travel by land across the Nigeria-Niger border were advised to check with the local authorities of both countries for the latest information before travelling.
