God Bless You!” — US Lawmaker Hails Nigerian Governor As Defender Of Christians

The discussion centred on boosting collaboration between Nigeria and the US in critical areas such as security, economic growth, and stronger bilateral relations.

Moore described the meeting as constructive and future-focused, noting America’s readiness to partner with Nigeria in tackling common challenges.

“It was an honour to meet with the governor of Plateau State in Nigeria, Caleb Mutfwang, yesterday,” Moore wrote on X.

“We had a meaningful and productive conversation about deepening the ties between our two countries.”

The congressman reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to supporting Nigeria in addressing security and economic concerns, with special attention to vulnerable groups.

“I remain committed to working with the Nigerian government in coordination and cooperation to address these security and economic challenges, especially the persecution our Christian brothers and sisters face,” he said.

Moore also praised Governor Mutfwang for his efforts in safeguarding vulnerable communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt region.

“God bless you, Governor, for what you do to protect Christians and other vulnerable populations in the Middle Belt,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Plateau State Government stated on Tuesday that Governor Mutfwang is in the US on a strategic mission aimed at attracting investments while enhancing development and security partnerships.

The statement added that the governor is expected to meet with organisations such as the United States Development Finance Corporation, the US Export-Import Bank, and senior officials at the US Department of State.

Moore had earlier revealed in December 2025 that Nigeria and the US were nearing completion of a “strategic security framework” to combat terrorism.

He also noted on January 25 that the creation of a US–Nigeria working group marked an important move toward resolving Nigeria’s security challenges.
