The U.S. Mission to Nigeria has announced that the government will launch an investigation into past aid allocations to Nigeria and other countries. The investigation aims to determine how these funds were utilized in the respective countries.
Also, this investigation will ensure accountability, comprehensive monitoring, and evaluation systems have been implemented to verify that U.S. assistance reaches its intended beneficiaries.
The statement shared on the page of the US mission reads;
The U.S. has established comprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure that U.S. assistance reaches its intended recipients. The United States strongly condemns the violence and disregard for human life committed by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Nigeria and the region.
Boko Haram was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. Secretary of State on November 14, 2013. This designation was made to block the organization’s assets, prevent its fundraising efforts, prosecute its members, and restrict their travel to the U.S. The U.S. continues to collaborate with Nigeria and regional partners in counter-terrorism efforts.
