The Federal Government has said that Nigeria remains stable and fully functional despite an earlier advisory by the United States today.
The warning authorised the voluntary departure of non-emergency personnel from its embassy in Abuja.
But the government described the advisory as a precautionary measure based on internal protocols.
It insisted the alert does not reflect the overall security situation in the country.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris on Thursday in a statement said public institutions remain operational, with no disruption to governance, economic activity, or daily life.
According to him, security agencies continue to record measurable gains through coordinated military operations, intelligence-led interventions, and enhanced inter-agency collaboration.
Idris noted that these efforts have led to the disruption of criminal networks and improved security conditions in several parts of the country.
He, however said that while isolated security challenges persist, there is no general breakdown of law and order nationwide.
“Our security agencies remain actively engaged in protecting lives and property, and the results of these efforts are increasingly evident,” he said.
The Minister said that Nigeria remains open for business, travel, and investment, with ongoing economic reforms strengthening investor confidence and international engagement.
He urged international partners to rely on balanced and updated assessments of Nigeria’s security situation, noting that engagement with authorities provides a clearer picture on the ground.
The statement follows a recent security advisory issued by the United States embassy in Abuja, which authorised the voluntary departure of non-emergency personnel amid security considerations.
The advisory generated public attention and diplomatic discussion, prompting clarification from Nigerian authorities who maintain that the development is a precautionary step consistent with standard embassy security protocols.
