Condemning the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and standing ready to support President Donald J. Trump in taking decisive action to end the existential threat that persecuted Christians face in Nigeria.

This resolution strongly condemns the ongoing and severe persecution of Christians in Nigeria, highlighting that the country is experiencing the highest levels of violence against Christians globally. It details systematic targeting by groups like Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and Fulani militants, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths, church destructions, and mass displacement. The resolution asserts that these attacks are deliberate campaigns of religious cleansing, not random acts, and notes that Christians are being killed at a rate significantly higher than other religious groups. The resolution criticizes the Nigerian government for repeatedly failing to respond to warnings, denying religious persecution, and maintaining blasphemy laws that lead to imprisonment or death for Christians and other dissenters. It recalls President Donald J. Trump's designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) in 2020 and 2025, contrasting it with the Biden administration's 2021 removal of Nigeria from the CPC list, which coincided with an escalation of violence. The House of Representatives stands ready to support President Trump in taking decisive action and urges the U.S. Government to use all available tools to pressure Nigeria to end impunity, protect Christian communities, facilitate the return of displaced persons, and repeal its blasphemy laws.
