The report also stated that a Nigerian delegation, including the national security advisor, Nuhu Ribadu, is visiting Washington to discuss US concerns over the killings of Christians in Africa’s most populous nation.

The report also said that the delegation will meet the deputy secretary of state, Christopher Landau, said Jonathan Pratt, the top State Department official for Africa.

The report added that the Trump administration wants to work with the Nigerian government on an action plan and to set up a task force to address this issue, he told a congressional hearing.

In addition, the United States will use all of the tools that are at our disposal to focus minds and attention on this issue. Religiously diverse Nigeria is the scene of several long-brewing conflicts that have killed both Christians and Muslims.
