answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2014 answer text <p>While most British visitors encounter no problems when visiting Nigeria and Cameroon, Boko Haram has conducted attacks in both countries. FCO travel advice for both countries provides information and advice to help all travellers make better informed decisions. This is reviewed on a regular basis and includes information and advice about the terrorist threat. <br>For those parts of Nigeria and Cameroon where we judge that the level of risk to British nationals is unacceptably high, we advise against all or all but essential travel. These areas are shown clearly on the maps that accompany the travel advice on the GOV.UK website.</p><p>We encourage all British nationals planning travel to, or living in, Nigeria and Cameroon to consult our travel advice regularly.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 19/11/2014 14:19:02 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
