The United States Embassy in Nigeria has announced an investigation into the utilization of past aid allocated to Nigeria and other countries. This move comes on the heels of US President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend all foreign aid for 90 days, citing concerns about global destabilization and misalignment with American interests.
The investigation is a response to growing calls for a comprehensive review of US Agency for International Development (USAID) health funds. The Embassy confirmed that monitoring systems are in place to track past assistance provided by the US government. “Comprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems are in place to help verify that U.S. assistance reaches intended recipients,” the mission stated.
In addition to the investigation, the US Embassy also condemned the ongoing violence perpetrated by Boko Haram in Nigeria. “The United States condemns the violence and blatant disregard for human life perpetrated by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Nigeria and the region,” it declared.
The US government reaffirmed its commitment to working with Nigeria and regional partners to combat terrorism and enhance security in West Africa. This move demonstrates the US government’s efforts to ensure that foreign aid is utilized effectively and aligns with American interests.
