According to reports, the agreement includes a provision that mandates developing and less developed nations to support LGBTQ rights in order to receive financial aid and other forms of assistance from developed countries.
The agreement, named after the Pacific island of Samoa, was signed on November 15, 2023, and is gaining momentum despite facing opposition from many countries that are openly Islamic and Christian.
The confirmation of Nigeria's ratification of the agreement was made by Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Abubakar Atiku Bagudu on Monday, July 1 at a European Union reception in Abuja.
