The secretary of foreign affairs of America Blinken will meet with president Tinubu in Abuja
US Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Anthony Blinken will arrive in Nigeria on a one-week tour to four West Africa countries.
The U.S. is struggling to see sustained impact as it gets from Russia and China.
Countries in West Africa, especially in the Sahel region, have faced increasing problems including changes of governments in four members of ECOWAS 15.
The visit came at the same time when Abuja, the capital of Nigeria was facing security problems and mass kidnapping.
Nigeria has experienced an increase in violence in the north and central of the country where gunmen are attacking and kidnapping people for revenge.
Jihadi claiming groups such as Boko Haram and other criminal groups have killed hundreds of civilians with equivalent to more than two million people in recent years, an issue that makes the Nigerian government claiming to bring change and address Economic problems due to withdrawal of petroleum supply.
President Joe Biden of America, who is facing challenges in his resignation campaign, has promised to visit Africa last year unless he fails.
Blinken's rally could be part of a promising effort but comes as political changes have been made since his last visit to the region early in 2023.
