Tuggar holds meeting with US Ambassador in Abuja
Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, on Monday held a meeting with the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, to discuss areas of bilateral cooperation between both countries.
The meeting was confirmed by the US Embassy, which shared photographs of the engagement in a post on X.
While details of the discussion were not disclosed, the embassy said the American government looks forward to continuing its partnership with Nigeria on issues of mutual interest.
The engagement comes barely two days after a US congressman, Riley Moore, disclosed that Nigeria and the United States were close to reaching an agreement on a “strategic security framework.”
According to him, the proposed framework is aimed at strengthening cooperation to tackle terrorism in Nigeria and the wider West African region.
The meeting has further raised expectations of deeper collaboration between both countries, especially in the areas of security and regional stability.
Moore recently visited Nigeria alongside other congressmen on a “fact-finding mission” to examine allegations of a Christian genocide in the country.
During the trip, the lawmakers visited some communities in Benue and met with Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser (NSA), in his office in Abuja, the country’s capital.
Moore said the conversations were “positive”.
“We did have positive conversations with the Nigerian government, and I believe we are close to a strategic security framework to address both the ISIS and Boko Haram threats in the north-east, as well as the genocide against Christians by the radical Fulani Muslims in the Middle Belt,” he said.
The lawmaker is set to submit a report to US President Donald Trump to outline ways forward.
