The UK has downgraded a warning to its citizens against travel to the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
The US had gone further to order the evacuation of its diplomatic staff members.
The travel warnings prompted a strong response from the Nigerian authorities who described the alerts as unnecessary and irresponsible.
The UK High Commission in Nigeria says the travel advisory to British citizens for Abuja has been changed from Amber to Green.
It says the UK government no longer advises against all but essential travel to the city but that some risks remain
It added that the travel warning against all travel to seven other states in Nigeria remains unchanged.
