The resolution condemns the genocide against Christians in Nigeria and urges the United States Secretary of State to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. It highlights the alarming statistics of religious persecution, noting that since 2009, over 50,000 Christians have been killed, more than 19,000 churches have been attacked or destroyed, and over 15 million Christians have been displaced due to their faith. The resolution emphasizes that Nigeria is one of the most dangerous countries for Christians, who face targeted attacks, discrimination, and oppression. It also references the consistent calls from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom for Nigeria to receive the designation of Country of Particular Concern, which is reserved for nations that engage in severe violations of religious freedom.

The resolution further asserts that the scale of violence and persecution against Christians in Nigeria constitutes genocide, as defined by the United Nations. It calls for official recognition of this persecution as genocide to hold Nigeria accountable on the global stage, prevent further atrocities, and seek justice for the affected Christian population. The resolution will be transmitted to various U.S. government officials and entities to raise awareness and prompt action regarding the situation in Nigeria.
