Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to bolstering security ties with Chad, pledging enhanced joint efforts to combat terrorism and banditry in the Lake Chad region.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made the announcement on Thursday during a bilateral meeting at the State House in Abuja with Chad’s President, Mahamat Idriss Déby.
The leaders discussed regional security challenges and strategies to counter emerging threats.
Tinubu described the visit as timely, noting it strengthens bilateral relations and collaboration on insecurity issues affecting both nations. He emphasized that Nigeria and Chad are key partners in the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), which was formed to tackle terrorism and other cross-border threats in the Lake Chad Basin.
“Our discussions centred on the security challenges facing our region. Chad is a critical partner in the MNJTF, and together, we have resolved to combat terrorism, eliminate acts of terror and ensure the safety and sovereignty of our nations,” President Tinubu stated.
The Nigerian leader highlighted the shared responsibility of both countries to secure their borders and protect citizens, stressing that sustained cooperation among neighbouring states is vital for lasting peace.
He also pointed to the longstanding relationship between Nigeria and Chad, built on the foundations laid by previous leaders to foster stability, economic growth, and regional development.
