Ahead of President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the United States, a former
assistant secretary of state, Johnnie Carson, has stated that the discussion
between Nigeria and United States should not be restricted to insecurity alone
because Nigeria is the most important country in Africa and must be treated as
such.

Carson said Washington should not let security issues overshadow the need for
closer trade and investment ties.

“Nigeria is the most important country in Africa,” Carson who is currently an
adviser to the United States Institute of Peace said.
Now more than ever, “the relationship with Nigeria should not rest essentially
on a security and military-to-military relationship,” he added in an interview
with Reuters.

Similarly, US Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken told Reuters that:
“President Barack Obama has long seen Nigeria as arguably the most important
strategic country in sub-Saharan Africa.”
But noted that over the years the ties between US and Nigeria strained because
Nigerian government refused to investigate corruption allegations in the country.
“The question is would there be an opportunity to deepen our engagement and
that opportunity is now,” he said of Buhari’s three-day visit to Washington.
