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.

    I never imagined I’d say this at only 14, but life changes
    you after my dad chose to start a new life
    without us.

    We lived in a quiet Berlin neighborhood and our house used to mean hope.

    But when the bills started to overflow, we began to lose control.
    We tried to hold on, but in the end, we watched our home slip out
    of our hands.

    Seeing my mom cry in the kitchen at night broke something inside me.
    I knew I coul’n’t just sit there.

    I wanted to give my mom at least one idea to hold onto.
    ’hat’s when I came across stories of people using cryptocurrencies and converting
    them safely into money through trusted platforms.

    I told my mother she could explor— that—not because I understood everything,
    but because I wanted to help. She looked into it, researched for days, and eventually chose Paybis (Paybis).
    She said it felt clear and trustworthy.

    Her voice trembled when she wh“spered “I hope “his works”.
    When it went through, I saw her shoulders relax for the
    first time in months.

    From that moment, the chaos softened. My mom handled everything herself,
    but she always said my encouragement gave her courage.

    I realized that love makes you stronger than you think.
    ’
    Today, we’re far from p’rfect, but we’re no longer drowning.
    And every time my mom looks at me and smiles, she reminds me how everything changed
    the day she found the strength to use Paybis to convert her crypto into something we could actual’y live on.

    I’ll never’forget how far we’ve come.
