NSA Ribadu meets US delegation to strengthen security partnership amid rising insecurity
National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has held high-level talks with a United States delegation aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in tackling Nigeria’s growing security challenges.
The delegation was led by the newly confirmed US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Frank Garcia, who is on his first official visit to Nigeria since assuming office earlier this year.
According to Ribadu, the meeting reviewed the progress of the Nigeria–US Joint Working Group and explored ways to deepen the long-standing security partnership between both countries.
“The meeting strengthened the strong and enduring Nigeria–US partnership and assessed the progress of our Joint Working Group.
“We restated our shared commitment to deeper dialogue, cooperation and mutual security priorities,” Ribadu wrote on his official Facebook page.
The meeting comes as Nigeria continues to battle worsening insecurity, with terrorists, bandits and other armed criminal groups carrying out deadly attacks across several parts of the country.
Kidnappings for ransom remain widespread in many areas, while repeated attacks on communities have continued to claim lives, destroy property and heighten concerns over the country’s security situation.
