Regional Security Advisory:<\/strong> Nigeria’s northeast states (Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, Yobe) remain subject to Boko Haram \/ ISWAP terrorist activity. Most Western governments advise against all travel to these states. The Niger Delta region carries elevated security risk. Lagos, Abuja, the southwest, and the southeast are generally accessible for visitors using standard urban precautions. Always consult current government travel advisories before planning travel to Nigeria.<\/div>\n
