The USAID funding freeze, triggered by President Trump's executive order, is disrupting critical development programs in Nigeria and other countries reliant on U.S. aid. The decision, which Trump labelled "fraudulent and anti-American", has forced local NGOs to dismiss staff, halt life-saving projects, and abandon planned initiatives.
The U.S. is the world's largest aid donor, disbursing $72 billion in FY 2023, so this abrupt halt has far-reaching implications. Contractors working for USAID are now on unpaid leave, and some organizations in Nigeria are shutting down operations while awaiting directives from funders. A case in point: a family planning training program in Abuja was abruptly cancelled two days before its launch due to the funding freeze.
To unpack the implications of this decision, Physician and Global Health Strategist Dr. Maimunat Alex-Adeomi and investigative journalist David Hundeyin, who has been vocal about this issue on X (formerly Twitter), join us.
