He also placed Algeria, Comoros, Cuba, and Nicaragua on a watch list for religious freedom, and designated armed groups, including Islamic State and several of its affiliates, as entities of concern.

Nigeria was added to the list for the first time in 2020. jamb results

The State Department did not respond to a request for comment, and it was unclear if the designation was related to the secretary’s travel.

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, USCIRF, in April recommended that Nigeria remain on the list, citing “violence by militant Islamists and other non-state armed actors, as well as discrimination, arbitrary detentions, and capital blasphemy sentences by state authorities” in the country.

“We urge the State Department to reconsider its designations based on facts presented in its own reporting,” Chair Nadine Maenza said, referring to the department’s report on international religious freedom in May, which cited religious freedom concerns in Nigeria.
