Kuku seeks removal of UK travel advisory on Nigeria .

The British government has been urged to remove the travel advisory it placed on Nigeria. Kingsley Kuku, special adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta, said this at the Chatham House in London, in a presentation, entitled ``Amnesty in the Niger Delta: Sustaining Peace and Surmounting Challenges’’.

Kuku said that such advice was capable of scaring investors from Nigeria. ``How can people invest in Nigeria when the United Kingdom of all our allies places such advice? ``You tell the whole world that they should not go to the Niger Delta. The fallout from the peace you are enjoying is the increment in crude oil production from the Niger Delta.
