The United States Mission to Nigeria has announced that the U.S. government is set to investigate how past aid allocated to Nigeria and other countries has been utilised.
On January 20, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump suspended all foreign aid for 90 days, citing concerns about global destabilisation and misalignment with American interests.
This move follows growing calls for a comprehensive review of how U.S. Agency for International Development health funds have been spent.
In a post on its verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, the U.S. Mission to Nigeria confirmed ongoing efforts to track past assistance provided by the U.S. government.
“Comprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems are in place to help verify that U.S. assistance reaches intended recipients,” the mission stated.
The U.S. Mission also strongly condemned the ongoing violence and loss of life caused 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 and the region,” it declared.
The statement further highlighted that Boko Haram was officially designated a Foreign Terrorist Organisation by the U.S. Secretary of State on November 14, 2013.
It said the designation was to block the group’s assets, restrict its fundraising efforts, prosecute its members, and prevent them from travelling to the United States.
The U.S. government reaffirmed its commitment to working with Nigeria and regional partners to combat terrorism and enhance security in West Africa.
