Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

FOLLOWING the story Airport '94: Nigeria in these pages last Saturday, the Foreign Office has updated its advice to Lagos-bound travellers: 'Businessmen

should check the credentials of local contacts thoroughly, and if in doubt consult the Nigerian Desk of the Department of Trade and Industry (071-215 4966).' Visitors are also warned of the high incidence of street crime and armed robbery: 'Travel outside cities after dark is unsafe.'

For more information on Nigeria or anywhere else, call the Foreign Office travel advice unit on 071-270 4129, or consult BBC 2 Ceefax, page 564.
