Draft:Embassy of the United States, Abuja

The Embassy of the United States in Abuja is the diplomatic mission of the United States in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is located at 1075 Diplomatic Drive in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.

The current envoy is David Greene, serving as chargé d'affaires ad interim since March 31, 2023.

Establishment of relations and original chancery
The United States and Nigeria established bilateral relations on October 1, 1960, the day that Nigeria gained its independence from the United Kingdom. On that day, Nigeria opened its embassy in Washington, D.C, the U.S. capital, and the United States opened its embassy in Lagos.

The original chancery was in use from 1960 until 2000, when the United States embassy was transferred to the current building in Abuja.
