These measures help verify that U.S. aid is properly allocated to its intended recipients.

The U.S. government strongly condemns the violence and disregard for human life exhibited by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups operating in Nigeria.

In a decisive move, the Secretary of State officially designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) on November 14, 2013.

This designation aims to disrupt the group’s financial networks, block assets, prosecute its members, and restrict their ability to travel to the United States.

Beyond financial sanctions, the United States continues to collaborate closely with Nigeria and regional partners to counter the persistent threat of terrorism.
