The United States Mission in Nigeria has issued a security advisory, urging American citizens to avoid unnecessary visits to Nigerian military and government facilities in Abuja due to rising global security concerns.

U.S. citizens were also advised to remain vigilant in public spaces, especially in areas frequented by Westerners, expatriates, and government personnel.
The statement read:
“Due to increased security concerns arising from current global developments, U.S. Mission Nigeria informs U.S. citizens that all U.S. Embassy employees and their families are prohibited from non-official travel to Nigerian military sites or other government venues in Abuja at this time.”
Recommended actions include:
Staying alert in public places, especially where Westerners, expatriates, or government officials gather
Avoiding large crowds and unnecessary travel
Breaking predictable routines
Familiarizing yourself with emergency exits upon entering buildings
Reviewing your personal security
Despite the heightened alert, the Consular Sections of the U.S. Embassy in Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos remai n open for operations.
