Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to working with international partners, including the United States, to combat terrorism and violent extremism within its borders. This cooperation has already enabled targeted air strikes against terrorist positions in the north‑west region. Under established international protocols and bilateral agreements, Nigeria’s security collaboration involves intelligence sharing, strategic coordination and other support that respects national sovereignty and complies with international law.
The country’s counter‑terrorism efforts focus on protecting civilian lives, preserving national unity and upholding the rights and dignity of all citizens, regardless of faith or ethnicity. Terrorist violence is viewed as a direct threat to Nigeria’s values and to international peace and security. To counter this, the government is working closely with partners to dismantle terrorist networks, disrupt their financing and logistics, and prevent cross‑border threats. Parallel initiatives aim to strengthen Nigeria’s security institutions and intelligence capabilities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue engaging with relevant partners and will keep the public informed through official channels. Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to fighting terrorism is a central element of its strategy to ensure regional and global security. Recognizing that terrorism is a complex, evolving challenge, Nigeria’s response forms part of a broader international effort. The partnership is guided by a shared dedication to human‑rights protection, adherence to international law and the promotion of regional stability, and will remain a critical component of the nation’s counter‑terrorism strategy.
