Nigerian-American advocacy groups are working to revive the Congressional Nigeria Caucus, hoping to rebuild structured dialogue between Washington and Abuja at a time of rising tensions. The caucus, once a platform for policy coordination, has been inactive for years, and activists say restoring it could strengthen engagement on security, immigration, and economic ties. However, finding lawmakers willing to serve as co-chairs has proven difficult, even as some express interest in joining. The push comes against a backdrop of complicated bilateral dynamics: from US genocide claims that Abuja disputes to American troops operating on Nigerian soil and ongoing visa tensions. Despite the challenges, diaspora leaders say momentum is building to reset the conversation.
