A United States Congressional delegation has arrived in Abuja and met with Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, as both countries intensify diplomatic engagement on security cooperation and rising concerns in Washington over allegations of religious persecution.
Mr Ribadu confirmed the visit in a statement on Sunday afternoon, saying he received the delegation “on a fact-finding mission to Nigeria,” following earlier engagements in Washington, D.C. on shared security priorities.
The delegation included Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart, Norma Torres, Scott Franklin, Juan Ciscomani, and Riley Moore.
The US Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, was also in attendance, “reflecting the importance both nations attach to this engagement,” Mr Ribadu noted.
According to the NSA, discussions focused on counter-terrorism cooperation, regional stability, and strengthening the Nigeria–US strategic security partnership.
“I’m optimistic this engagement will deepen trust, collaboration, and our shared commitment to peace and security,” Mr Ribadu said.
Sunday’s meeting comes weeks after Mr Ribadu led a high-level Nigerian delegation to Washington amid heightened US congressional scrutiny and a renewed push by some American lawmakers to categorise Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) over alleged Christian persecution.
During that US visit, the Nigerian delegation, which included senior government, security, intelligence, and diplomatic officials, held a series of engagements with key administration figures, including the US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.
Mr Hegseth said he discussed “horrific violence against Christians” in Nigeria with the delegation, adding that Washington was working “aggressively with Nigeria to end the persecution of Christians by jihadist terrorists.”
Earlier, the delegation also met with Rep. Riley Moore, one of the most vocal promoters of the false “Christian genocide” narrative.
Mr Moore described the talks as “frank, honest, and productive,” saying Nigerian officials outlined concerns about counterterrorism operations, security assistance, and the protection of vulnerable communities.
