Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information in Nigeria is excited as the country is removed from the religious violators’ black list by the US.
The Federal Government has hailed the United States for removing Nigeria from its list of countries with religious freedom concerns, calling the decision fair and just.
In a statement issued in Paris, France, on Thursday, Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed reiterated Nigeria’s earlier stand when it was put on the list in December 2020, that it does not engage in religious freedom violation or have a policy of religious persecution.
He said Nigeria jealously protects religious freedom as enshrined in the country’s constitution and takes seriously any infringements in that regard.
