Nigeria and the United Nations will strengthen collaboration on border policing across West Africa to tackle transnational security threats, Nigeria’s Ambassador to the UN, Sen. Jimoh Ibrahim, has said.
Ibrahim disclosed this on Wednesday after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the President had directed immediate engagement with the UN to support efforts aimed at improving border security across the sub-region.
“The President is going to put a lot of effort into West Africa border policing. He gave specific directives on what to do immediately,” Ibrahim said.
He described the region’s porous borders as a major security challenge requiring stronger international cooperation.
