A United States delegation has arrived in Nigeria amid heightened diplomatic attention after President Donald Trump issued a warning over alleged religious persecution in the country.
The visit, confirmed in an official statement by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, marks a significant development in the ongoing discussions between both nations regarding human rights and religious freedoms.
According to the statement, the US team is in Nigeria to engage government officials, religious leaders, and civil society groups as part of a fact-finding mission. Their arrival follows Trump’s recent remarks expressing concern over reports of targeted attacks and discrimination based on religious identity in parts of Nigeria.
The Nigerian government noted that it welcomes constructive dialogue and cooperation aimed at strengthening national unity and improving security conditions. It also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the rights and freedoms of all citizens regardless of religious affiliation.
Further details on the delegation’s schedule and engagements are expected to be released in the coming days.
