The Save Nigeria Group USA has restated its commitment to sustained advocacy for the safety, dignity, and fundamental freedoms of Nigerians, following renewed engagements with United States policymakers in Washington, DC.
The group’s president, Stephen Osemwegie, participated in a hearing at the US Capitol Hill organised by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), where concerns over persistent religious freedom violations and insecurity in Nigeria were discussed.
During the visit, Osemwegie held talks with Congressman Riley Moore, who reiterated his support for protecting vulnerable communities in Nigeria and maintaining US attention on religious freedom challenges in the country.
The delegation also engaged with USCIRF leadership, stressing the need for consistent international pressure and policy focus on Nigeria, particularly as violence, displacement, and targeted attacks continue to affect millions of citizens.
Save Nigeria Group USA announced plans to scale up humanitarian support for displaced persons, deepen partnerships with grassroots organisations, and create more platforms to amplify the voices of victims and survivors globally.
As part of its next phase, the group said it will launch a global outreach initiative targeting Nigerian and international communities across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Africa to strengthen coordinated advocacy efforts.
“We will not abandon Nigeria,” Osemwegie said, noting that the organisation remains focused on ending insecurity, forced displacement, and violations of freedom of religion and conscience.
The group’s renewed advocacy comes amid ongoing security challenges in Nigeria, including attacks by extremist groups such as Boko Haram and ISWAP, as well as widespread kidnappings. Save Nigeria Group USA says it will continue to push for accountability, international action, and long-term solutions to Nigeria’s security crisis.
