Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make it his policy to provide (a) financial, (b) technical and (c) capacity building support to the Government of Nigeria to help the implementation of the recommendations of the report entitled, Nigeria: Unfolding Genocide, published by the APPG for International Freedom of Religion or Belief on 15 June 2020.

We welcome the APPG's report and the detailed analysis it provides on the complex issues of intercommunal violence across multiple states of Nigeria and acts of terrorism committed by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa in North East Nigeria. The UK Government strongly condemns all acts of violence in Nigeria. We are considering the report and its recommendations in detail and I will provide a full response in due course.
