The US has agreed to refund another installment to Nigeria of $23 million (£19 million), which is purportedly money that former Nigerian military leader Sani Abacha plundered and stashed overseas.
This is a portion of an agreement that the two nations signed on Tuesday in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
Abubakar Malami, the Nigerian minister of justice, signed on behalf of Nigeria, while Mary Leonard, the US ambassador to Nigeria, signed on behalf of the US government.
According to Mr. Malami, the money that will be sent home "soon" would be used to improve the nation's infrastructure.
More than $300 million had been sent back to the West African nation by the US in 2020.
General Sani Abacha died while in office in 1998. He was accused of stealing billions of dollars of public funds and stashing them in Europe and the US.
In recent years, the Nigerian government has secured the release of part of the loot from several countries including Switzerland, Britain and the US.
