The U.S. government has announced plans to investigate how past foreign aid to Nigeria and other countries was spent, following President Trump's directive to suspend aid for 90 days due to concerns about misuse and global destabilization. The probe focuses on funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), particularly in the health sector. Congressman Scott Perry accused that some of these funds might have indirectly supported terrorist groups like Boko Haram. In response, the U.S. Mission to Nigeria denied these allegations, reaffirming their commitment to ensuring aid reaches legitimate recipients and supporting efforts to counter terrorism. Development agencies warn that the aid suspension could disrupt critical health, education, and humanitarian programs across Africa.
