Introduction
Recent developments in U.S. foreign aid policies, particularly
under the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), have
significant implications for Nigerian entities. Structural reforms
driven by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have
triggered changes that threaten the stability of USAID-funded
projects in Nigeria. These changes come at a time when global
funding priorities are shifting, leaving many development projects
in limbo.
For Nigerian businesses, NGOs, and government agencies reliant
on USAID funding, these changes present critical legal risks. This
article explores these issues in detail and suggests ways Nigerian
entities can protect their interests.
