Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has met with senior officials of the United States government as both countries seek stronger collaboration to tackle growing security challenges across the country.
The meeting took place during a visit by a high-level US delegation led by the newly confirmed Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Frank Garcia. The visit marked Garcia’s first official trip to Nigeria since taking office earlier this year.
Discussions centred on strengthening security cooperation between Nigeria and the United States, particularly at a time when many parts of the country continue to face attacks from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and other criminal groups.
Ribadu said the engagement provided an opportunity for both sides to review the progress made under the Nigeria–US Joint Working Group and assess areas where further cooperation is required.
According to him, the talks reaffirmed the commitment of both countries to deepen collaboration on issues relating to security, intelligence
