Article-Summary: 

The US has denied that it has suspended military assistance to Nigeria following Nigeria's opposition to the US-led war on Iraq. US Nigeria ambassador Howard Jetter said: "This is not the case. The US government has not sought to influence Nigeria policy on Iraq through the suspension of military assistance. While some US military assistance to Nigeria has been affected by US legislation that went into effect on February 20, those limitations were in no way related to Nigeria's stand on Iraq."
