NIGERIA STANDS FIRMLY AS A DEMOCRACY GOVERNED BY CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE.


 Nigeria stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty. 


Since 2023, our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with Christian and Muslim leaders alike and continues to address security challenges which affect citizens across faiths and regions.

Our administration is committed to working with the United States government and the international community to deepen understanding and cooperation on protection of communities of all faiths.


BOLA AHMED TINUBU

PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
