According to President Bola Tinubu’s administration, a high-level Nigerian delegation and US officials have decided to work together to resolve the country’s long-standing security issues.

According to ZINGTIE, senior officials from the US Congress, the White House Faith Office, the State Department, the National Security Council, and the Department of War met with a delegation headed by National Security Advisor Mallam Nuhu Ribadu last week regarding the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.

President Tinubu’s media assistant, Bayo Onanuga, provided information about the meeting and stated that it will boost security ties between Nigeria and the United States.

According to Bayo, the meeting’s conclusion has also created new opportunities for collaboration to safeguard Nigerian nationals.

He claimed that the Nigerian team denied claims of genocide in Nigeria during the meetings in Washington, DC.

According to Bayo, the Nigerian delegation to the United States emphasized that families and communities in Nigeria are impacted by violent attacks regardless of their ethnicity or religion.

“The delegation strongly rejected wrongful framing of the situation, saying such would only divide Nigerians and distort the realities on the ground.

“Following these engagements, the United States Government affirmed its readiness to deepen security cooperation with Nigeria.

“This includes enhanced intelligence support, expedited processing of defence equipment requests, and the potential provision of excess defence articles, subject to availability to reinforce ongoing operations against terrorists and violent extremist groups.

“The United States also expressed its willingness to extend complementary support, including humanitarian assistance to affected populations in the Middle Belt and technical support to strengthen early-warning mechanisms”.

The presidential spokesman stated that both countries “agreed to implement immediately a non-binding cooperation framework and to establish a Joint Working Group to ensure a unified and coordinated approach to the agreed areas of cooperation”.

“In return, the Nigerian delegation reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening civilian protection measures”, he added.
