Nigeria Gains Strong International Support in Counterterrorism Efforts, Says Nuhu Ribadu National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu says Nigeria is receiving increased international backing—particularly from the United States, France, and the United Kingdom—as the country intensifies its fight against insurgency and terrorism. Speaking during a sympathy visit to Niger State following the abduction of schoolchildren, Ribadu assured families that President Tinubu is deeply concerned and committed to securing their safe return. He emphasized that global partners are uniting to help Nigeria overcome two decades of violent extremism. The report also includes updates from the Defence Headquarters clarifying a cross-border misunderstanding with Nigerien troops, activist Aisha Yesufu’s scathing open letter accusing the National Assembly of failing citizens amid worsening insecurity, and fresh kidnappings in Kano State just days after an earlier rescue operation. #Nigeria #NuhuRibadu #Counterterrorism #NationalSecurity #USSupport #France #UK #Insecurity #Tinubu #NigerState #Kidnappings #DHQ #AishaYesufu #KanoState #TerrorismFight #NigeriaNews
