Ghana has reversed a travel advisory warning its citizens against travelling to the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration said an earlier statement it released was unauthorised.
In a statement reversing the travel advisory, the Ministry said it was not aware of any threat targeted at Ghanaians who continue to live in harmony with their Nigerian brothers and sisters in the FCT.
The statement reads: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration wishes to refer to the travel advisory published this evening, Wednesday 16′ November 2022 advising against non-essential travel to Abuja and wishes to state that the statement was unauthorised.

“The Ministry is not aware of any threat targeted at Ghanaians who continue to live in harmony with their Nigerian brothers and sisters.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration regrets any inconvenience this may have caused to the travelling public”.
The earlier statement released by Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration reads: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration wishes to inform the travelling public about security developments in Abuja, Nigeria, and the subsequent directive by local authorities to hotels operating in residential buildings to shut down.
“Accordingly, the public is advised to avoid non-essential travel to Abuja, due to the unpredictable security situation in the city, and the high danger of terrorism, criminality, inter-communal conflict, armed attacks, and kidnappings.
