The United Kingdom has officially lifted its travel restrictions on Kaduna State, upgrading it from the “Red” to the “Amber” category in its foreign travel advisory — a move that reflects renewed international confidence in the state’s security landscape.
The announcement was made on Wednesday during the signing of the Kaduna Mutual Accountability Framework between the Kaduna State Government and the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
The UK had placed Kaduna on its “Red” list in 2022 due to rising insecurity, including banditry and insurgent attacks that forced school closures and displaced thousands.
Under the new “Amber” category, British nationals can now travel to Kaduna with fewer restrictions, although the UK still advises caution in some rural areas.
