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. Thanks to my father who told me concerning this
    webpage, this webpage is truly amazing.

  2. One can solely imagine the sentiment amongst navy officers, few of
    whom appear to have been informed of the struggle plans beforehand – and a lot
    of whom at the moment are tasked with killing Ukrainians en masse.
    The Traveling Salesman Problem on a graph of some
    hundred factors would take years to run on a supercomputer.
    The very best analysis on how authoritarians fall factors to
    2 potential scenarios: a army coup or a well-liked uprising.
    But they track with Singh’s predictions that poor
    efficiency in wars typically leads autocrats to search out someone to blame – and that concern of punishment may persuade some amongst Russia’s safety elite that one of the best
    ways to protect themselves is to get rid of Putin. Indeed,
    a 2017 research of civil wars discovered that coups are more
    likely to occur during conflicts when governments face stronger opponents – suggesting that wartime deaths and defeat actually do
    elevate the odds of army mutinies. But at the same time, wars like Putin’s can breed resentment and worry in the ranks, precisely the
    circumstances below which we’ve seen coups
    in other countries. It’s value noting that the double o in Wookey Hole is pronounced
    just like the double o in snooker, not as in Wookiee.
