Nigeria: Alleged Christian Genocide - U.S. Congressional Delegation Meets NSA in Abuja

The US delegation met with Nigeria’s NSA Ribadu to enhance counter-terrorism efforts and regional stability amid tensions from Nigeria’s redesignation as a Country of Particular Concern.

  • On Sunday, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser, hosted a U.S. congressional delegation led by Mario Díaz‑Balart in Abuja, with members Norma Torres, Scott Franklin, Juan Ciscomani, Riley M. Moore, and Ambassador Richard Mills attending.
  • After earlier talks in Washington, D.C., Nigeria and U.S. officials reviewed shared security priorities amid tensions following U.S. President Donald Trump's redesignation citing alleged violations which critics called 'Christian genocide'.
  • Talks focused on counter‑terrorism cooperation, regional stability and strengthening the Nigeria–U.S. strategic security partnership, Ribadu said, aiming to enhance trust and collaboration.
  • The redesignation has heightened tensions and prompted talk of potential punitive measures, including military options discussed in Washington during Ribadu's November 20 Pentagon meeting with Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War.
  • With expanded diplomatic outreach, Nigeria aims to address concerns amid scrutiny and secure global partners' support, with U.S. Ambassador Richard Mills highlighting the stakes for Nigeria–U.S. security cooperation and regional stability.
