Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

It was a real honor to spend some time with the REA team in Abuja. They are working hard to bring power to the tens of millions of Nigerians who lack access, and we are working with them closely every step of the way. We have a lot of work to do and a lot to look forward to!
