Nigeria Confirms Ongoing Security Cooperation with International Partners to Combat Terrorism

The Nigerian government has reaffirmed its commitment to collaborative efforts with international partners, including the United States, to address the persistent threat of terrorism and violent extremism in the country. This cooperation has resulted in targeted air strikes against terrorist targets in the North West region.

In line with established international protocols and bilateral agreements, Nigeria’s security cooperation with its partners involves the exchange of intelligence, strategic coordination, and other forms of support that respect national sovereignty and adhere to international law. The country’s counter-terrorism efforts prioritize the protection of civilian lives, national unity, and the rights and dignity of all citizens, regardless of their faith or ethnicity.

Terrorist violence, in any form, is considered a threat to Nigeria’s values and international peace and security. The government is working closely with its partners to dismantle terrorist networks, disrupt their financing and logistics, and prevent cross-border threats. Efforts are also underway to strengthen Nigeria’s security institutions and intelligence capabilities.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to engage with relevant partners and provide updates to the public through official channels. The Nigerian government’s commitment to combating terrorism is unwavering, and its cooperation with international partners is a key aspect of its strategy to ensure regional and global security.

The threat of terrorism is a complex and evolving issue, and Nigeria’s response is part of a broader international effort to address this challenge. The country’s security cooperation with its partners is guided by a shared commitment to protecting human rights, upholding international law, and promoting regional stability. As the Nigerian government continues to work towards a safer and more secure future, its collaboration with international partners will remain a critical component of its counter-terrorism strategy.
