In response to the security alert from the U.S. embassy in Nigeria, which raised concerns about heightened risks facing major hotels in the country’s capital, hotels in Abuja have taken immediate steps to improve guest safety.
These precautions are intended to provide a safe environment for both local and international guests.
The U.S. embassy advisory stressed the need for increased vigilance and encouraged American citizens to be cautious and take appropriate steps for their safety.
Federal security agencies are actively engaged in countering these threats, diligently gathering intelligence, conducting investigations, and strengthening security protocols in hotels throughout the country.
However, the embassy advised U.S. citizens to remain informed on the local security situation and adhere to guidance from Nigerian authorities.
Representatives from both hotels have stressed the significance of guest safety and assured that they have implemented the required safety measures.
“We take the security of our guests very seriously. We have already implemented enhanced security measures, including increased security personnel, strict access control, and regular security drills,” said a management staff member of Apartment 1010.
Similarly, Mr. Godwin Pius, a representative for Guaranty Hotel, stated, “The safety and well-being of our guests are our top priorities. We have intensified our security protocols and are working closely with local law enforcement agencies to ensure a safe environment within our premises.”
Both hotels reported full bookings over the weekend, which serves as a testament to the continued confidence their guests have in the measures implemented to address security concerns.
They recommended that guests maintain vigilance, promptly report any suspicious activities, and adhere to the instructions given by hotel personnel and local authorities.
Kanyi Daily recalls that Ghana issued a travel advisory on Wednesday, warning its citizens to avoid non-essential trips to the Nigerian capital Abuja over security concerns.
