The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) estimates that there are approximately 20 000 British nationals living or working in Nigeria.

We offer advice to those resident in, or travelling to Nigeria, through FCO Travel Advice. This Travel Advice was updated in the week commencing 14 April, around the time of the abduction of the school girls, to ensure that it provided British nationals travelling to, or working in Nigeria, the best possible information and advice on the potential threats and dangers.
