In a significant step towards strengthening security cooperation between the United States and Nigeria, the deputy commander of the United States Africa Command, Lt. Gen. John Brennan, joined senior Nigerian military leaders in Abuja today to launch the inaugural U.S.-Nigeria Working Group.
This new initiative is designed to foster greater collaboration between the two nations in addressing terrorism and other security challenges that affect vulnerable communities.
The working group aims to establish a robust framework for coordination and accountability, enabling both countries to more effectively share intelligence, resources, and expertise. By working together, the U.S. and Nigeria plan to increase their joint efforts in combating terrorism and organised crime, which have had devastating impacts on Nigeria’s security and stability.
One of the key objectives of this partnership is to protect vulnerable populations, including women, children, and displaced persons, who often bear the brunt of terrorist activities. With growing concerns over the rise of violent extremist groups, the U.S.-Nigeria Working Group will focus on preventative measures and responsive strategies, ensuring that both nations can respond more swiftly and effectively to emerging threats.
The launch of this working group signals a new era of security cooperation between the U.S. and Nigeria, aimed at creating a safer, more resilient region.
