The house of representatives has rejected narratives that portray Nigeria’s security challenges as religiously motivated or state-sponsored.
This position comes in response to a bill introduced in the United States congress on March 11, 2025, seeking to designate Nigeria for allegedly engaging in, and tolerating violations of religious freedom.
In reaction, the house mandated relevant government agencies, including the ministry of foreign affairs, to compile and transmit empirical evidence that counters the claims made in the U.S. bill.
