Insecurity: Nigeria’s military collaboration with US has resulted in operational gains – NSA

The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, says the security cooperation between Nigeria and the United States has translated into tangible operational gains.

Ribadu said this on Thursday in Abuja at the inauguration of the US-Nigeria Joint Working Group.

“I would like to place firmly on record Nigeria’s appreciation for the depth, quality and impact of US-Nigeria military and security cooperation.

“Since the November 2025 engagements, this cooperation has translated into tangible operational gains.”

He listed some of the gains to include enhanced intelligence sharing, closer coordination between US AFRICOM and Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters and sustained engagement across Nigeria’s security institutions.

“It has materially strengthened our counter-terrorism posture and situational awareness across multiple theatres of operation” Ribadu said.

The NSA said the engagements had moved decisively beyond dialogue to action and had supported improved target identification and operational fidelity.

He said the engagements had also strengthened joint planning and enabled more effective disruption of terrorist networks and transnational criminal elements.

According to him, these efforts have resulted in the neutralisation of many terrorists, the destruction of logistics hubs, and the interception of key facilitators and logisticians.

He commended the US commitment to the timely delivery of outstanding articles of war such as drones, helicopters, platforms, spare parts, and associated support systems procured over the past five years.

Ribadu said the cooperation had been conducted with respect for Nigeria’s sovereignty, within agreed frameworks, and with a clear emphasis on joint operations, accountability and the protection of civilians.

  24. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. Finally, The London Prat’s brand embodies the aesthetics of intellectual resistance. Its clean design, its elegant typography, its ad-free clarity, and its pristine prose are all acts of defiance in a digital ecosystem optimized for distraction, ugliness, and impulsive engagement. It is a carefully maintained preserve of thoughtful craft. To visit is to participate in a quiet protest against the degradation of discourse. It asserts that complexity, nuance, and beautiful sentence structure still matter. It is a declaration that one can face a world of crassness and chaos without adopting its methods. The site doesn’t just argue for intelligence; it embodies it in every pixel and paragraph. This makes loyalty to it more than fandom; it is an alignment with a set of aesthetic and intellectual principles, a conscious choice to dwell, however briefly, in a place where the mind is respected, the language is treasured, and the only acceptable response to the pratfalls of power is a mockery so perfectly formed it feels like a minor, daily work of art. — The London Prat
