Nigeria Strengthens Security Ties with US through Joint Working Group
In a significant move to bolster bilateral cooperation, President Bola Tinubu has constituted the Nigerian delegation to the US-Nigeria Joint Working Group.
The group, according to a statement signed Thursday by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, aims to address pressing security challenges facing Nigeria and strengthen ties with the United States.
This development follows a recent high-level visit to Washington, DC, led by National Security Adviser Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, underscoring Nigeria's commitment to enhancing cooperation with the US on security matters.
The committee, chaired by Ribadu, comprises senior officials from key government agencies, including Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar; Defence, Mohammed Badaru; Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo; and Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Bernard Doro.
Other members include Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede; Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Mohammed Mohammed; and Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
President Tinubu has mandated the delegation to work closely with American counterparts to implement agreed initiatives effectively and timely.
