The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that the country will emerge stronger from recent tensions with the United States, which designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) over alleged persecution of Christians.

Speaking after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu, Minister of Information Mohammed Idris said the government is taking the matter seriously, emphasizing that Nigeria is a tolerant, multi-faith nation. He added that the administration is working to ensure the international community understands Nigeria’s true position.

Idris noted that the President is engaging religious leaders, regional blocs, and international partners to counter “false narratives” from extremist groups. He stressed that security reforms, including the appointment of a new Chief of Defence Staff, demonstrate the government’s commitment to national safety.

The Minister called for unity, urging citizens not to be divided by extremists and reaffirming that Nigeria remains a united, tolerant nation.
