I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution. According to available data more than 935 people have been killed in violent attacks in Nigeria since 2009. Many of the problems in the country are rooted in decades of tension between local ethnic groups, which sparks ethnic, religious and political strife affecting thousands of people. This situation in the country is preventing its economic development. Nigeria is the world’s eighth-largest oil producer, but the majority of its inhabitants live below the poverty line. I welcome the resolution’s call for the Nigerian authorities to encourage effective inter-religious dialogue and to encourage freedom of thought, conscience and religion. There is also a need to combat poverty and inequality more effectively, particularly by combating the corruption that is rife in the country and the exploitation of Nigeria’s natural resources by foreign companies. The European External Action Service should also play a more active role in establishing long-term development cooperation measures in order to contribute to peace, security and the safeguarding of human rights in this country."@en1
