The United States House of Representatives is scheduled to hold a hearing to examine Nigeria’s efforts to protect Christians and address violence and insecurity in the country’s Middle Belt region.
The session, which will be led by Republican Congressman Chris Smith, on Thursday, 12 November is expected to focus on the security situation in Nigeria, particularly concerns over attacks on Christian communities and the government’s response to ongoing violence.
Lawmakers are expected to examine measures being taken by the Nigerian government to protect vulnerable communities, tackle insecurity and ensure accountability for perpetrators of violence.
The session is expected to provide a platform for US lawmakers to assess Nigeria’s response to these challenges and consider the broader implications for US-Nigeria relations.
