Planning to travel near Maiduguri or report from the area? Keep these basics in mind: always check the latest security advisories from local authorities and your embassy before travel; avoid travel at night; use trusted local contacts or fixers; and carry ID and emergency contacts. Movement restrictions can change quickly, so plan flexible routes and extra time.
Health-wise, be up to date on routine vaccines and carry malaria prevention measures. Bring sufficient cash and a charged phone; some areas have limited ATM access and unreliable networks. For journalists and aid workers, register with local authorities and coordinate with established NGOs to reduce risk and improve access.
