“Nigeria is looking forward to collaboration” with the U.S. on security issues. “We are expecting that there will be more.”
“Terrorist groups hide in the forest, and also bandits and other people are kidnapping for ransom,” Tinubu said.
“We are concerned about our people’s safety,” she added, pointing to steps taken by the Nigerian government, including a nationwide security emergency, plans to recruit 50,000 new police officers and the redeployment of more than 11,000 officers from VIP protection duties to conflict-prone areas.
