Nigerian Minister Addresses Religious Persecution Concerns in Berlin Meeting
Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tuggar, clarified Nigeria's position on religious persecution during a meeting with Germany's Foreign Affairs Minister, Johann Wadephul, in Berlin. Tuggar emphasized that Nigeria's constitution guarantees freedom of religion and upholds the rule of law, making religious persecution unthinkable in the country.
This statement comes in response to renewed concerns over alleged religious violence in Nigeria, particularly following accusations by US President Donald Trump of the Nigerian government's failure to address attacks against Christians. Tuggar reaffirmed Nigeria's commitment to protecting the rights of all citizens regardless of their faith, ethnicity, or background, and expressed a dedication to working with international partners to promote peace and unity.
