In the advice by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Britons are also advised against undertaking non essential trips to Bauchi, Kano, Jigawa, Niger, Sokoto, Kogi States and within 20km of the border with Niger in Kebbi State, Abia State, non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers States, Plateau State, Taraba State, Anambra State and Imo State
The advice read that around 117,000 British tourists visit Nigeria every year, noting that most visits are trouble-free, but a small number of British people encounter problems. “You should take sensible precautions to protect your safety,” it urged.
