President Bola Tinubu’s administration has begun diplomatic steps to calm tensions with the United States following recent threats by President Donald Trump over alleged attacks on Christians in Nigeria.

Presidential aides said Nigeria is open to U.S. assistance in combating terrorism, but only under the condition that the country’s sovereignty is respected. Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Security Office have also been in contact with Washington to clarify Nigeria’s position and reinforce its commitment to protecting all citizens regardless of faith.

Government sources disclosed that Tinubu has ordered a review of Nigeria’s foreign missions and security structures as part of efforts to strengthen cooperation while maintaining national independence.

Meanwhile, the presidency rejected claims that Nigeria is religiously intolerant, describing Trump’s statement as “unwarranted and misleading.”

Diplomatic observers say these steps are aimed at preventing a further escalation and restoring confidence between both nations.
