flag U.S. confirms no troops to Nigeria; CPC designation aims to spur religious freedom reforms through diplomacy and aid.

flag The U.S. has confirmed it will not deploy troops to Nigeria, clarifying that its 2025 designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern over religious freedom violations is a diplomatic tool to encourage reforms, not a prelude to military action. flag A bipartisan congressional delegation visited Nigeria to assess security and religious tensions, particularly in the Middle Belt, and emphasized that the CPC status aims to promote accountability, protect citizens of all faiths, and strengthen non-military cooperation, including humanitarian aid and capacity-building. flag The visit underscored U.S. commitment to partnership, with officials stating Nigeria’s status is reviewable based on progress in reducing violence and safeguarding religious freedoms.
