The resolution condemns the ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria, highlighting the severe persecution they face, which has resulted in over 50,000 deaths, the destruction of more than 19,000 churches, and the displacement of over 15 million individuals since 2009. It emphasizes that Nigeria is one of the most dangerous countries for Christians, where they are subjected to targeted attacks and systemic discrimination. The resolution calls for the United States Secretary of State to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, a status that recognizes countries that engage in severe violations of religious freedom.

The resolution also references the consistent recommendations from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom for this designation, as well as the introduction of a congressional resolution by New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith in March 2025, which echoes these concerns. By officially recognizing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria as genocide, the resolution aims to hold Nigeria accountable on the global stage, prevent further atrocities, and seek justice for those affected by this religious persecution.
