LAGOS, Jan 14 - Nigeria's government has hired a U.S. lobbying firm to nurture ties with the Trump administration and counter what it says is misinformation from Christian Evangelical groups and others that minimises its efforts to protect the country's Christians.
U.S. President Donald Trump redesignated Nigeria "a countryof particular concern" in November, promising military action if it failed to crack down on the killing of Christians. The U.S. then launched an airstrike in Nigeria on Christmas Day that Trump said targeted Islamist militants.
