Nigeria and the United Kingdom have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation against terrorism financing, cyber threats, disinformation and other emerging security challenges under the renewed UK-Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership.
The commitment was made on Tuesday at the opening of the 4th UK-Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership Dialogue in Abuja.
The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, said the partnership had evolved into a broad strategic framework covering counterterrorism, cybersecurity, regional stability, crisis response, maritime security and intelligence cooperation.
According to him, the dialogue comes at a time when the global security environment is becoming increasingly complex, with traditional threats evolving alongside new and technology-driven challenges.
He added that “terrorism, violent extremism, cybercrime, organised criminal networks, illicit financial flows, foreign information manipulation and interference require unprecedented levels of cooperation among trusted partners.
