The United States of America has given four conditions that Nigeria must meet before it can be removed from the terror watch-list. One of the conditions is that the Federal Government must make a public condemnation of acts of terrorism wherever they occur in the world. The US also wants Nigeria to take urgent steps to address security lapses at its airports. The third condition is that Nigeria must be a party to an agreement to deploy air marshals on all US-bound flights originating from Nigeria. It also advised that the anti-terrorism bill is pending before the National Assembly must be passed into law. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chief Ojo Maduekwe, disclosed this to the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs in Abuja on Thursday. http://nigerianbulletin.com/summary-plus-news/us-gives-conditions-for-dropping-nigeria-from-terror-list-the-punch/12022010/13124/
