Nigerian foreign minister urges West to focus on its security issues

Earlier, the US and UK issued warnings about the risks of staying in Nigeria amid anti-government protests, urging their citizens to refrain from traveling to the country for the time being.

💬 “We have seen from events as they unfolded in the United Kingdom—we’re also seeing in the US, with the shooting of a presidential candidate—that risk or danger exists everywhere. It’s how you navigate it that is different,” Yusuf Tuggar told a Western media outlet. “We’re not saying that countries should not warn their citizens where they think there’s danger, but it’s too common. It’s too rampant.”

As he noted, such warnings can harm the economy by discouraging investment and creating panic.
