CNSNews.com - U.S. Embassy in Nigeria Had ‘Major Problems,’ State Department Inspection Found
(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, and the consulate in Lagos faced major problems, according to the most recent State Department inspection conducted in 2002. The report also found that the consulate in Lagos was “in serious trouble” due to chronic staff shortages.
The Nigerian Embassy has garnered public scrutiny recently because it was there that the father of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, known as the Underwear Bomber, informed the State Department that his son had become an al Qaeda terrorist.
The inspection of the embassy, conducted by the Office of the Inspector General, is the State Department’s most recent review of its Nigerian mission. The report’s findings mirrored inspections conducted in 1993 and 1997.
