SUBJECT: MISSION NIGERIA WELCOMES USCIRF DELEGATION TO 
ABUJA MARCH 19 TO APRIL 3, 2009 
 
REF: STATE 20346 
 
1.  U.S. Mission Nigeria warmly welcomes the visit of U.S. 
Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) 
Commissioners Donald Argue, Talal Eid, Leonard Leo, and Chair 
Felice Gaer, Executive Director James Standish, and USCIRF 
staff members David Dettoni and Tiffany Lynch to Abuja, 
Nigeria from MArch 19 to April 3, 2009.  Embassy Abuja will 
work to schedule requested meetings.  The Mission looks 
forward to greeting the delegation upon its arrival. 
 
2.  Control Officer for the visit is Terry Pflaumer. 
Contact information is: 
234-9-461-4228   (OFFICE) 
234-803-665-1250 (CELL) 
PflaumerWN/at/state.gov 
 
Deputy Control Officer is Cheryl Fernandes. 
Contact information is: 
234-9-461-4219   (OFFICE) 
234-803-665-1166 (CELL) 
FernandesCL/at/state.gov 
 
Administrative Point of Contact for the visit is John 
Heinbeck: 
234-9-461-4157   (OFFICE) 
234-803-408-0949 (CELL) 
HeinbeckJC/at/state.gov 
 
3. The Embassy has reserved rooms at the Transcorp Hilton 
Hotel Abuja for the Abuja portions of the delegation's stay. 
Breakfast is not/not included. The hotel address is: 1 Aguiyi 
Ironsi Street, Maitama, Abuja, Nigeria; phone number is 
234-9-461-3000 and fax number is 234-9-461-3110. 
Reservations will be made for accomodations during travel 
outside of Abuja and will be sent directly to delegation 
staff members. 
 
4. Nigeria is almost exclusively a cash-based economy.  The 
Mission strongly discourages the use of credit cards anywhere 
in Nigeria.  Visitors should carry travelers' checks and 
cash, but should be aware that travelers' checks are often 
impossible to cash outside of large hotels in Abuja. 
 
5. Please note that visas are required for entry into Nigeria 
and must be obtained prior to traveling. Airport visas are 
not available. 
 
6. SECURITY:  There is no specific terrorist threat against 
American citizens or American interests in Nigeria.  Rather, 
the main threat to U.S. citizens and U.S. interests is mostly 
criminal based upon prevailing economic conditions.  Violent 
crime is endemic throughout the country.  Armed street 
robberies, carjackings, sexual assaults, residential 
burglaries and credit card fraud threaten every person in the 
country, foreigners and Nigerians alike. U.S. citizens and 
official travelers have not been singled out, but they are 
generally perceived to be affluent and are subject to the 
same threat as all other persons in Nigeria.  There have also 
been incidents of violent communal unrest outside Abuja and 
Lagos during the past several months, and innocent bystanders 
have suffered.  RSO has determined that most violent crimes 
around Abuja take place between the hours of 2300 - 0600. 
 
7. MEDICAL:  Malaria prophylaxis should be started one week 
before arrival, continued through the length of stay and at 
least four weeks after departure.  Visitors must ensure that 
their immunizations are up-to-date and carry their entire 
yellow book shot record with them.  Avian influenza is 
present in Nigeria among birds. 
 
8. Further information on travel in Nigeria is available at 
the following State Department website: 
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis pa tw/cis/cis 987.html 
 
9. SCHEDULE: Embassy Abuja proposes the schedule below, based 
on information provided by USCIRF staff.  As previously 
discussed with USCIRF staff, at present, U.S. Mission travel 
to Jos and Bauchi is restricted following outbreaks of 
interreligious violence.  The Embassy's Emergency Action 
Committee (EAC) is scheduled to review this policy on March 
12. Per discussions, Embassy is pursuing the possibility of a 
reception on March 23 in Abuja.  We understand 
reception-related charges may be billed to the fund cite 
provided in reftel.
