What is a high-risk travel destination?
Across the world there are often a number of destinations the government considers as high-risk. Regardless of your reason for travel, be that for work or leisure purposes, these countries may be listed on the Governments Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) list due to being located in a war or conflict zone, having political unrest, recent terrorist activity, natural or technological disaster or hazard.
Given the classification of such destinations, it is important to fully consider the risks involved in travelling to them.

Spotlight on Nigeria
Working in or travelling to Africa can be fraught with risk. Business Insurance for travelling to certain areas of Africa is therefore vital in ensuring you’re protected. Nigeria, in particular, has a high level of kidnapping, piracy and terrorism, especially regarding oil and gas workers and cargo vessels. Political and social issues are tense and can make travellers particularly vulnerable.
Nigeria is one of the more common countries we provide high risk business travel cover for at SJL Insurance Services. We can provide you with insurance cover if you’re travelling through, working in or have a work premises in the country, specifically targeted to the risks surrounding Nigeria.
