Some Nigerian states have been blacklisted by the US, UK and Australia and travel alert issued to its citizens citing security concerns.
The information was disclosed by a notice placed by the Department of State on its website www.travel.state.gov.
The affected states are Kaduna,Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe and Yobe States. This is attributed to the present security situation in the region.
According to the report, ''the security situation in the North remains fluid and unpredictable.”
The United Kingdom’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office on www.gov.uk, also warned its citizens not to travel to Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Gombe states.
However, on www.travel.gc.ca, the Canadian government listed Lagos, Abuja and Calabar as the only safe cities in Nigeria.
Also, Canadians have also been warned to cancel all non-essential travels to Borno, Adamawa, Kaduna, Bauchi and others “due to the high risk of terrorism, inter-communal violence and kidnapping.”
The Australian Government has likewise issued a “Do not travel” warning to its citizens, as stated on www.smarttraveller.gov.au.
“The alternative airport which will be used during the repairs, Kaduna airport, is located approximately 200 kilometres north of Abuja in a ‘Do not travel’ area.
“We strongly advise you to defer non-essential travel to and from Abuja during the shutdown.
“We advise you to reconsider your need to travel to Nigeria due to the high threat of terrorist attack, the high threat of kidnapping, the unpredictable security situation, the possibility of violent civil unrest and the high level of violent crime,” it said.
