The Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026 aims to tackle the severe issues of religious persecution and mass atrocities in Nigeria. This legislation mandates that the U.S. government actively monitor and report on these issues, holding the Nigerian government accountable for its actions regarding religious freedom and assessing the effectiveness of U.S. efforts to address these challenges. A central provision of the Act requires the Secretary of State to prepare a comprehensive report detailing Nigeria's adherence to the International Religious Freedom Act.
