President Bola Tinubu has approved the Nigerian team for the US-Nigeria Joint Working Group, aimed at strengthening cooperation on security challenges. The group was agreed upon during a recent visit to Washington, D.C., led by National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, who will head the Nigerian side.
The multi-agency team includes the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Defence, Interior, and Humanitarian Affairs; the Chief of Defence Staff; the DG of the National Intelligence Agency; and the Inspector General of Police. Two officials — Idayat Hassan (ONSA) and Paul Alabi (Nigerian Embassy, US) — will serve as the secretariat.
Tinubu urged the group to work closely with US counterparts to fully implement all joint agreements.
The move comes amid heightened global attention on Nigeria’s insecurity, intensified by former US President Donald Trump’s claims of Christian killings and threats of military intervention — claims Nigeria rejects. Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to citizens’ safety and religious freedom.
Meanwhile, the US House Subcommittee on Africa recently reviewed Nigeria’s designation as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC), with witnesses presenting conflicting views on the security situation.
