Ghana withdraws travel advisory against Nigeria

The Ghanaian Authority has withdrawn its earlier travel advisory issued on Nov. 16, warning its citizens against nonessential travels to Abuja, Nigeria over an alleged security threat, stating that the earlier publication was unauthorized.

The Ghanaian High Commission in Abuja made this known in an updated Travel Advisory on Thursday, regretting all inconveniences the earlier advisory might have caused the government and people of Nigeria.

The statement reads, “The Ghana High Commission in Abuja refers to the travel Advisory published in Accra on Wednesday, 16th November, 2022, advising against non-essential travels to Abuja.

“And hereby states that the relevant authorities in Ghana did not authorize the said publication.
