Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has expressed his country’s commitment to combating terrorism through international cooperation. In a recent interview on Arise Television, Tuggar stated that the United States’ airstrike on terrorist camps in Sokoto State demonstrates Nigeria’s willingness to work with global partners to address the threat of terrorism.
The US airstrike, authorized by President Donald Trump, targeted terrorist camps in the North-West region of Nigeria. According to Tuggar, this move underscores Nigeria’s determination to tackle terrorism and insecurity. He emphasized that his country is focused on achieving results, rather than being concerned with the motivations behind the US action.
Tuggar’s comments come at a time when Nigeria is facing a dire security situation, with terrorism and insecurity posing significant challenges to the country. The Minister highlighted the importance of cooperation with international partners, including the US, in combating these threats. He noted that Nigeria is adopting a pragmatic approach, prioritizing the achievement of results over ideological considerations.
The US airstrike is seen as a significant development in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria. The country has been grappling with the threat of terrorism, particularly in the North-East region, where Boko Haram has been active. The Nigerian government has been seeking international cooperation to address the crisis, and the US airstrike is perceived as a positive step in this direction.
Tuggar’s statement suggests that Nigeria is open to collaborating with other countries to combat terrorism and insecurity. The country’s willingness to work with international partners is likely to be welcomed by the global community, which has been urging Nigeria to take decisive action against terrorism. As Nigeria continues to face significant security challenges, the country’s ability to work with international partners will be crucial in addressing these threats and achieving lasting results.
