The Cooperation Between Nigeria and US to Combat Terrorism Strengthens

Strengthening military bilateral relations with the United States of America is a key priority for Nigeria in order to intensify the fight against terrorism and other organized crimes within the country, according to the Minister of State for Defence, Muhammed Bello.

A visit by Bello to US Congresswoman Betty McCollum at the Capitol in Washington led to an agreement on enhancing military ties between the two countries, as stated by the minister’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Henshaw Ogubike.
