In light of the ongoing Christian persecution in Nigeria and elsewhere, one of President Donald Trump’s nominated ambassadors is prepared to uphold religious freedom around the world for all faiths.

Mark Walker, who was nominated in April to lead the State Department’s Office of International Religious Freedom, spoke on the Nigerian crisis in an interview with the Washington Examiner. If confirmed by the Senate, the ambassador-designate anticipates Nigeria will be among the countries he visits to address violations of religious freedom.
