Ambassador Urges Nigeria to Boost Diplomacy Amid Concerns Over Religious Freedom

Ambassador Sheni highlights the importance of Nigeria's diplomatic efforts to prevent potential sanctions, citing worries over religious persecution, especially against Christians. He warns that being designated as a country of concern for religious freedom by the United States could have negative implications for Nigeria's global image and investor appeal.
