Minister of
Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed yesterday replied the US Embassy in
Nigeria who last week sent an alert to all its citizens in Nigeria not to visit
20 states which they described as unsafe and a complete "no-go area".
At a meeting
with a delegation from the Association of Tourism Practitioners of Nigeria in
his office in Abuja, Lai said the statement by the US Embassy was incorrect.
"We are
in Nigeria. How can we believe the claim that 20 states in Nigeria are not
safe.
That is not correct. There is no state in Nigeria that is not safe today.
Is there any week they are not killing people in the U.S., by either shooting
in schools or driveways or people committing suicide or mass bombing? How many
of these stories do their media celebrate? If they want to tell their people
not to come to Nigeria, it is not for us to help them propagate it’’ he said
