Requires annual reports on US efforts to protect persecuted Nigerians from religious violence.
To increase pressure on the Nigerian government to protect its citizens and hold attackers accountable, this bill would require the US Secretary of State to send annual reports to Congress detailing US efforts to address religious persecution and mass violence in Nigeria.
Today, the US government's reporting on religious persecution in Nigeria is not consistently mandated or as comprehensive. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of State would be required to submit a detailed report to Congress within 90 days, and then annually. These reports would specifically assess Nigeria's actions on persecution and blasphemy laws, identify individuals for sanctions, and evaluate US aid efforts. This would provide ongoing, structured oversight.
