Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser (NSA), recently met with JD Vance, vice-president of the United States; and Marco Rubio, US secretary of state; over counterterrorism cooperation in West Africa.
In a post on X, Secure Nigeria, a social media platform focused on security issues, stated that the meeting reinforced the partnership between Nigeria and the US in combating terrorism across the region.
The post added that President Bola Tinubu appreciates the partnership and continued support of the US government under President Donald Trump.
“@officialABAT is grateful for @realDonaldTrump’s partnership and continued U.S. training and intelligence support as Nigerian forces intensify operations to dismantle terrorist networks, protect Nigerian Christians, and defend all vulnerable communities,” the post reads.
“Africa’s largest democracy isn’t wavering. Nigeria stands as a frontline U.S. partner against ISIS, Boko Haram, and rising terror threats across the Sahel.”
The platform said both countries remain committed to defeating terrorism and strengthening regional security cooperation.
“This fight is winnable, and together, the U.S. and Nigeria intend to finish it,” the post added.
