There will be a joint congressional briefing of the United States House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.
The committee officials will discuss the wave of violence and alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
US Congressman Riley Moore disclosed this in a note posted on X.
The session will be convened by the House Appropriations Committee Vice Chair and National Security Subcommittee Chairman Mario Díaz-Balart, with colleagues Appropriators as well as members of the Foreign Affairs and Financial Services Committees.
The briefing is intended “to spotlight the escalating violence and targeted persecution of Christians in Nigeria,” according to the notification.
The roundtable will collect testimony for a thorough report “directed by President Trump on the massacre of Nigerian Christians and the steps Congress can take to support the White House’s efforts to protect vulnerable faith communities worldwide.”
The briefing comes amid heightened US–Nigeria security collaboration.
President Bola Tinubu has already approved Nigeria’s team to the new US–Nigeria Joint Working Group, established to implement security agreements from high-level meetings in Washington led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
