The US government is set to investigate how past aid allocated to Nigeria and other countries has been utilised.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This follows US President Donald Trump\u2019s January 20, 2025, decision to suspend all foreign aid for 90 days, citing concerns about global destabilisation and misalignment with American interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move responds to growing calls for a comprehensive review of US Agency for International Development (USAID) health funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Congressman, Scott Perry, had claimed that USAID funded terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perry, a Republican representing Pennsylvania, made the claim during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency last Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boko Haram, officially known as Jam\u0101\u2019at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da\u2019wah wa\u2019l-Jih\u0101d, is a self-proclaimed jihadist terrorist organisation based in northeastern Nigeria and also active in Chad, Niger, northern Cameroon, and Mali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group has been causing havoc in Northeast Nigeria for over 15 years, killing tens of thousands of people, in frequent attacks against the police, armed forces and civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps. That\u2019s what it\u2019s funding,\u201d Perry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post via X on Tuesday, the US Mission to Nigeria confirmed that monitoring systems are in place to track past assistance provided by the US government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Mission also strongly condemned the ongoing violence and loss of life caused by Boko Haram in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems are in place to help verify that U.S. assistance reaches intended recipients. The United States condemns the violence and blatant disregard for human life perpetrated by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Nigeria and the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Secretary of State designated Boko Haram a Foreign Terrorist Organization on November 14, 2013 to block the organization\u2019s assets and fundraising efforts, prosecute individual members, and restrict their travel to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe United States continues to work with Nigeria and regional partners to counter terrorism,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
