Nigeria will vigorously engage the U.S. Government to remove its name from its blacklist of countries over concern on religious freedom, says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is following the announcement of the U.S. adding Nigeria among countries of concerns against its Religious Freedom Act of 1998.
Mr. Ferdinand Nwonye, Spokesperson for the Ministry, said the Nigerian Government has also expressed its displeasure to the U.S. Government on this development. He added that the Nigerian Government remained committed to ensuring respect and protection of all citizens’ right to religious freedom and promotion of religious tolerance and harmony.
