Lagos, October 18, 1972
Ministry of External Affairs Permanent Secretary JOE IYALLA presented Ambassador Reinhardt with a lengthy list of alleged calculated U.S. attempts to downgrade Nigeria which, Iyalla believed, all added up to a pattern of U.S. indifference and a penchant to take Nigeria for granted.
