The UK Government’s Travel Advisory has moved Kaduna State from “Red” to “Amber”. Consequently, British citizens are now free to travel to Kaduna State. This cheery news was disclosed by the Development Director of Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Ms. Cynthia Rowe during the signing of the new Mutual Accountability Framework (KaMAF) with the Kaduna State Government.

Ms. Rowe added that Kaduna State has been on “Red” since 2022 and has now been moved to “Amber” due to our administration’s persistent efforts in addressing security challenges. Ms. Rowe’s disclosure and acknowledgement of our sustained efforts is a strong testament to the impact of our peace and security initiatives, and a signal to investors that Kaduna State is safe for business.

Today’s signing of the new Mutual Accountability Framework (KaMAF) marks another important milestone in our collective resolve to transform lives and build a brighter future for the good people of Kaduna State. The goal is to consolidate on the successes recorded in the areas of governance, health, education, and agriculture. I signed the agreement on behalf of the Kaduna State Government, while Ms. Cynthia Rowe signed on behalf of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

Together with the FCDO, we have achieved tangible progress: reducing maternal and child mortality, expanding healthcare access, improving school infrastructure and teacher training, and scaling up agricultural investments with over 10% of the 2025 Budget dedicated to crops and livestock productivity. Through reforms such as the Local Government Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (LFTAS) Programme, Issue-Based Initiatives, and Community Development Charters, we are deepening citizen engagement, strengthening institutions, and driving rural economic transformation.

I remain profoundly grateful to the FCDO for their steadfast partnership. I am confident that the implementation of this new KaMAF will further accelerate good governance, foster inclusive development, and consolidate Kaduna State’s position as a model of resilience, equity, and shared prosperity.
