The United States, the world’s largest economy, has a longstanding tradition of providing foreign aid for humanitarian causes and economic development. This aid holds more than just a moral dimension, as it harbors tangible economic and business implications.
Per Second News reports that as Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria has received $4.65 billion in aid from the United States of America in the past 5 years from 2018-2022. In a document obtained in Washington, DC Wednesday the aid assisted Nigeria in a diverse array of targeted assistance to combat regional insurgencies from extremist groups like Boko Haram, and also assisted in its counterterrorism capabilities and health systems against threats like polio and malaria.
