Celebrating Progress: Recent Successes in the U.S.-Nigeria Partnership

A recent series of engagements between the United States and Nigeria highlights the value of partnership between the world’s two most populous presidential democracies.  Deputy Secretary Kurt Campbell and Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf M. Tuggar have made progress on implementing mutual economic, governance, and security priorities through the April 29-30 U.S.-Nigeria Binational Commission in Abuja, the 16th U.S.-Africa Business Summit from May 6-9 in Dallas, Texas, and Foreign Minister Tuggar’s May 14-17 visit to Washington.

These initiatives reflect the commitment of the United States to deepen ties with Nigeria in support of inclusive economic growth and shared prosperity.  The U.S.-Nigeria partnership continues to thrive, built on shared interests, values, and strong people-to-people ties.
