The Federal Government has stated that it cannot be stampeded by what any government instructs its citizens to do in response to the most recent travel advisory from the United States Department of State urging their citizens to reconsider travelling to Nigeria due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and maritime crime.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said despite the attempts by terrorists to embarrass the government, security agencies have, in the last few months, taken firm control of the situation.

Asked if he was still standing by his previous assurances that citizens and non-citizens alike are safe in Nigeria, he replied: “Now, of course, this so-called travel advisory as far as we’re concerned, as a government we have in the last few months, take a firm handle of security.

“What I said is that click-baiting, which is, you find a story which is not verified and you immediately share it, always causes panic.

“But I want to reassure both citizens, non-Nigerians, Nigerians living in this country, that security agencies are on top of this matter.

“Of course, the terrorists would not stop to try to embarrass or intimidate the government but what I’m saying is that this country is safe. And there’s no cause for alarm. No cause to panic. Unfortunately, because of that travel advisory on Sunday many schools were closed, shops were closed, travel plans were disrupted, we don’t need it. The security – our soldiers, our police are working round the clock to contain any terrorist attack. This is where we stand.”

Reminded that the travel advisory specifically mentioned vulnerable states that Americans must not travel to, Mohammed affirmed that it was not strange as even the Nigeria Mission in the US can advise Nigerians on their movement there.

The minister advised citizens to desist from spreading unverified news, whether the government is worried by the perception the advisory can create with investors and what steps might be taken to prevent it.

He added: “The concrete step is that people should stop spreading unverified news that is what saying. You see, look how many school shootings happen in the US? how many senseless killings happened in the US?

“So have they been able to predict what’s going to happen next which school is going to be a victim next? Do Nigerians in the US also feel safe?

“I think you should stop demarketing your home country. Every country has its security challenges. We have ours, and we are facing them. Which side are you, American side?”
