Catriona Laing, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria has given reasons behind the recent travel advisory it issued to its citizens in Nigeria and Africa.
Laing had made this known in Abuja on Sunday, November 20. According to her, the advisory was in line with the UK’s government security support to Nigeria especially, and to Africa as a whole.
Laing had then said that the initial threat that resulted in the issue of the advice warning British citizens on the security threat in Abuja had been spectacularly received.
“Our job as the UK is to support Nigeria, and we have a security defense partnership with Nigeria, which has a lot of different aspects.”
“But we also have a duty to our citizens to warn them if we are concerned about a security threat. However, that advice is available to everybody, anyone can sign up for a travel alert from us.” Liang had stated.
