The Federal Republic of Nigeria is located in West Africa between Benin and Cameroon, with coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. Nigeria’s population is approximately 155 million people. Although the official language is English, there are many recognized national and regional languages.
Nigeria’s government is a federal republic. A president serves as the chief of state and head of government, elected by popular vote.
Nigeria has considerable oil wealth, and violence in the oil-producing region is an ongoing problem. Corruption and political instability remain problems, although the government has made major improvements in efforts to tackle these issues. Nigeria’s human rights record remains poor.

Travellers should avoid any non-essential travel to Nigeria due to violent crime, serious disturbances, and militant activity. The security situation in Nigeria is highly unstable, and the risk of kidnappings, armed attacks, banditry, and violent assault is considerable.
The level of crime throughout Nigeria is high. Armed robberies, hostage taking, car-jacking, and violent assaults, particularly conducted by large well-armed groups, are common. Foreigners should be accompanied by an escort vehicle with police when arriving at or leaving from an airport as these main routes frequently experience car-jacking.
Any travellers to Nigeria should maintain an extremely high level of vigilance. Travellers are advised against all unnecessary road travel after dark. Major cities, such as Abuja and Lagos, experience high levels of violent crime, including armed attacks against foreign nationals and assaults in tourist areas. Crowds, public gatherings, and demonstrations should be avoided. Copies of travel documents and identification should be carried at all times, and official documents should be stored safely. Do not display any signs of affluence.
