The advice given by the French authorities is a little less alarming:
http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/voyageurs/etrangers/avis/conseils/fiches/fiche.asp?onglet=1&pays=NIGERIA
(if you can read French). They say that "In Abuja, security is
globally satisfying. Usual precautions should apply, especially at
night (close car doors, respect police road blocks)."
But on the whole, it seems to be pretty risky. They do give some good
advice. I can make a translation for you if you are interested.
