Nigerian Government Explains Delay in Tinubu-Trump Meeting Over Alleged Christian Genocide

The Nigerian government clarifies that Bola Tinubu has not met with US President Donald Trump to discuss the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. This explanation comes amidst diplomatic tensions between the two countries following Trump's concerns over Nigeria's handling of religious freedom.

Nuhu Ribadu, Nigeria's national security adviser, led a delegation to the US to address terrorism threats in Nigeria. Tinubu has rejected Trump's claims and emphasized Nigeria's commitment to upholding religious freedom.

The US House Subcommittee on Africa is reviewing Trump's redesignation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern.
