The United Kingdom has upgraded its travel advisory for Kaduna State, moving it from the “Red” to the “Amber” category, effectively lifting travel restrictions for British citizens.
The announcement was made by Cynthia Rowe, Development Director of the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), during the signing of a new Kaduna Mutual Accountability Framework (KaMAF) with the state government.
According to Rowe, Kaduna had been on the “Red” list since 2022 due to security concerns. However, the state’s reclassification to “Amber” is a direct result of significant improvements in the security situation under Governor Uba Sani’s administration. Rowe noted that this change serves as a strong signal to potential investors.
The KaMAF agreement, co-signed by Governor Sani and Rowe, is designed to build on existing progress in governance, health, education, and agriculture within the state.
