The United States will invest more than $600
million in Nigeria this year, Secretary of State
John Kerry said yesterday in Washington.
He spoke during the opening session of the U.S.-
Nigeria Bi-National Commission meeting.
The Nigerian delegation was led by Foreign
Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyema, supported by
other officials including Nigerian Charge
d’Affaires Hakeem Balogun.
Those with Kerry include leaders from the State
Department, USAID, the Defence Department,
Commerce Department, and other key agencies.
The U.S. Ambassador James Entwistle also
attended.
Kerry, who hailed President Muhammadu
Buhari’s actions in office in the area of security
and the attaempt to diversify the economy,
said:”Our development assistance this year will
top $600 million, and we are working closely
with your leaders – the leaders of your health
ministry – to halt the misery that is spread by
HIV/AIDS, by malaria, and by TB.
“Our Power Africa Initiative is aimed at
strengthening the energy sector, where shortage
in electricity has frustrated the population and
impeded growth.
“And our long-term food security programme,
Feed the Future, is helping to create more
efficient agriculture and to raise rural incomes in
doing that.
“Our Young African Leaders Programme, in
which many Nigerians participate, is preparing
the next generation to take the reins of
responsibility….and in education, we are
working together to try to fight illiteracy,
especially in the country’s north, where the lack
of opportunity has been holding people back,
and where the terrorist organisation, Boko
Haram, has murdered thousands and disrupted
the lives of millions.”
Kerry condemned the Bokoharam activities,
promising U.S. support to finish off the sect and
end its terrorist activities.
On investment, he recalled that the U.S.
Commerce Secretary Pritzker “has been among
the first senior U.S. officials who have been to
Nigeria recently. In her case, it was to highlight
investment opportunities and that is a theme
that has been reinforced by yesterday’s business
forum here in Washington.”
On Boko Haram, Kerry said: “Under President
Buhari, Nigeria has been taking the fight to Boko
Haram and it has reduced Boko Haram’s
capacity to launch full-scale attacks.
“However, the group still remains a threat – a
serious threat – to the entire region.
“And in recent months, our governments have
been collaborating on new ways to institute
security measures, including counter-IED
equipment, improved information sharing, and
training and equipping two infantry battalions.
“Now, I want to be clear, this aid is predicated on
the understanding that, even when countering a
group as ruthless as Boko Haram, security
forces have a duty to set the standard with
respect to human rights. One abuse does not
excuse another.
Onyema expressed optimism on a successful
outcome as the meeting went into a closed
session.
