In Letter to Tinubu, Trump Lauds Nigerian President’s Decisive Leadership Against Terrorists – Presidency

U.S. President Donald Trump has commended Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his strong leadership in combating terrorism, particularly violence affecting Christian communities, according to a statement from the Nigerian Presidency.
In a formal letter dated July 6, 2026, President Trump praised Tinubu’s resolve and pledged continued U.S. support in the fight against terrorists.

“It is a true honour to stand with you in the fight against these terrorists and to make the Federal Republic of Nigeria stronger and more prosperous,” Trump wrote.

The details were disclosed today by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the Nigerian President on Information and Strategy.

Full Text of Trump’s Letter dated July 6, 2026:

Dear Mr President,

“Thank you for your thoughtful letter. Your kind words mean a great deal to me, and I appreciate your decisive leadership on behalf of the Nigerian people. I applaud your resolve to tackle the issues plaguing your nation, especially the violence affecting Christian communities and it is a true honor to stand with you in the fight against terrorists and to make the Federal Republic of Nigeria stronger and more prosperous.

“The United States-Nigeria relationship is crucial at a time where conflict has spread across West Africa and around the world. We both share a mutual goal of confronting terrorism in all its forms, and our historic US-Nigeria 2026 Defence Cooperation Roadmap has established a robust framework to accomplish this feat.

“I am proud to have deployed the United States Special Operations Forces—among the most elite military units anywhere in the world—to equip the brave men and women in the Armed Forces of Nigeria with the skills, tools and intelligence they need to protect your homeland and ensure the safety and security of citizens, particularly those of faith who have been under attack. I look forward to our continued discussions over the course of my Presidency."

Dangote staff reveals he built Dangote refinery on sand filled water which cost over $350M (482 Billion Naira) to sand fill & He spent over 900 Billion naira to get 5000 New trucks in total to start his Oil Refinery 😳🙆‍♂️

[Mal. Imran U. Wakili (PULLO) 👑 #iSTANDWITHELRUFAI @IU_Wakilii]

As Petroleum Minister, he borrowed a ₦40,000 bank loan in the 1970s to build his house — that was Dr. Shettima Ali Monguno, Nigeria's first Minister of Petroleum, appointed in 1972.

He took the loan to build his house in Maiduguri.

late Shettima Ali Monguno, PhD, was:

~ President of OPEC (1972–1973)

~ Minister of the Air Force (1965–1966)

~ Minister of Mines and Power

~ Minister of Petroleum and Energy (1972–1975)

~ Federal Commissioner for Trade (1967–1971)

~ Leader of the Nigerian delegation to UNCTAD II, New Delhi (1968)

~ Member of the Nigerian delegation to the United Nations for over 10 years

~ Pro-Chancellor, University of Calabar (1978–1980)

~ Pro-Chancellor, University of Nigeria (1980–1984)

~ Recipient of national honours from the Ethiopian Empire, the Republic of Egypt, Sudan, and Cameroon (1970)

~ Trustee, Girl Guides Association of Nigeria (1970–1990)

~ Deputy National Chairman, National Party of Nigeria (December 1980–1984)

~ Chairman, Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (1977–1978)

~ Member, Constituent Assembly (1977–1978)

~ Conferred with the national honour of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) in 1982

~ Director, Nigbel Bank Nigeria Ltd. (1988)

~ Chairman, Borno Education Endowment Fund (1986)
Yet, he died with only one house — a house he acquired through a ₦40,000 bank loan, which he repaid in instalments.

In 1974, when he wanted to build a house in Maiduguri, he applied for a ₦40,000 bank loan. The bank requested a guarantor. He approached his boss, General Yakubu Gowon, then Head of State and Commander-in-Chief, to stand as his guarantor.

General Gowon declined, explaining that it would amount to an abuse of office for him to facilitate such a loan.

Shettima then explored other options.

Julius Berger was already a well-established construction company at the time. He approached the company to build the house for him.

They agreed on one condition:
Julius Berger would finance and build the house, then rent it out until the ₦40,000 was fully recovered through deductions from his salary.
Shettima accepted the arrangement. That was how he built his modest bungalow in Maiduguri.

He was only able to achieve this through a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) arrangement with Julius Berger.

He attended Monguno Primary School, Teachers' College Bauchi, Teachers' College Katsina, the College of Arts, Science and Technology, Zaria, Moray House College of Education, and the University of Edinburgh.

He was also presented with the Keys to the Cities of New York City, Louisville (Kentucky, USA), Quito (Ecuador), and Lima (Peru).

May his soul rest in peace.

We will not be remembered by the laws we passed. We will not be remembered by the oversight functions we are able to perform. We will not be remembered by the fact that we won and we are here. We'll be most remembered by the positions we take for matters of controversy and issues that are sensitive to our nation. There are thousands that have been here and have left, and there will be more. Our children, our brothers, our siblings will be here, but they will remember us by the mark we make here.
