Bola Tinubu’s government has reportedly engaged a Republican-connected lobbying firm for over ₦12 Billion ($9 million) in a bid to convince the United States that Nigeria is serious about protecting Christians in the country.
According to a report by The Africa Report, the move comes amid heightened tensions, with former US President Donald Trump threatening further strikes.
The hiring of the firm highlights Tinubu’s urgent effort to manage Nigeria’s international image and secure support from influential US political actors.
The lobbying firm, known for its deep connections within conservative circles in Washington, is expected to leverage its influence to shape US perceptions of Nigeria’s domestic policies, particularly around religious protection and security.
