A visiting United States congressional delegation has expressed strong optimism that terrorism and religious violence in Nigeria can be ended if recently agreed security measures are fully implemented.
The statement came from US Representative Riley M. Moore following a closed-door meeting with Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Moore stated that “concrete steps and actions” were agreed upon to strengthen cooperation, disrupt terrorist networks, and end violence, including against Christian communities.
Moore specifically commended the Nigerian government and President Bola Tinubu for the successful rescue of 100 abducted Catholic schoolchildren, calling it a positive signal of the government’s growing responsiveness. He described the operation as part of implementing the emergency security framework declared by Tinubu.
The US lawmaker disclosed that both countries are moving closer to a cooperative security framework, citing a newly established joint task force as evidence of deepening collaboration.
