It allayed fears that the crisis in Niger Republic might fuel terrorism in Nigeria.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation,  Alh. Mohammed Idris, who spoke at a session with journalists, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was determined to secure the country.

The Minister also said that travel advisories do not achieve anything other than needless panic.

He said: “We understand the concerns raised by the United States government in their recent travel advisory, but believe that it is imperative that we do not generalize isolated incidents across the entire hospitality industry.
