The US Mission to Nigeria said on Tuesday that its government will review how previous aid to Nigeria and other nations was used.
The announcement was made on its verified X account.
“Comprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems are in place to help verify that U.S. assistance reaches intended recipients,” the mission stated.
“The United States condemns the violence and blatant disregard for human life perpetrated by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Nigeria and the region.”
The statement comes amid claims by United States Congressman Scott Perry, alleging that USAID has funded terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram, to the tune of $697 million annually.
The allegation has raised concerns among some security experts and diplomats in Nigeria.
