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.

  1. For families concerned about memory issues, your clarification around which environments can handle mild versus advanced dementia is crucial. I dug into more specialized memory care information on memory care near me when planning for my uncle.

  2. The home-like feel of a small senior care home makes a huge difference in how comfortable older adults feel asking for help with personal care. That’s why I appreciate what senior care is promoting.

  3. I’ve seen small homes where caregivers sit and have meals with residents, naturally assisting with eating and conversation. That sense of togetherness is exactly what assisted living talks about.

  4. I like that you explained how Assisted Living supports activities of daily living without taking away all independence. This concept was also clearly described on senior care , which helped me understand what my father might experience.

  5. Many people don’t realize you can transition between Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Nursing Home care within some campuses. I first learned about these “continuing care” setups on senior living and it really shaped our decision.

  6. Fall prevention during everyday tasks is easier to manage in a smaller, more controlled environment. It’s great to see providers like respite care focusing on safer assisted living options.

  7. I like that you mention pet policies as a factor. For some seniors, staying with a pet can be a major source of comfort. When we searched on assisted living near me , we filtered for pet-friendly Independent and Assisted Living communities.

  8. I appreciate the emphasis on dignity in small senior care homes. Things like unhurried bathing and individualized grooming routines really preserve self-esteem. senior living seems to promote that philosophy.
