Why Nigeria must not break up – US

The United States has warned against the division of Nigeria and promised it would continue to work for the promotion of the unity of the most populous black nation.

The country’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, said the US recognised the strength of Nigeria.

The envoy said this when he led top officials of the embassy on a working visit to the office of the Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, in Ibadan on Monday.

Symington said that the visit was in furtherance of his country’s vision and mission to explore new frontiers of partnership for development with African countries.
