Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser (NSA), recently met with JD Vance, vice-president of the United States, and Marco Rubio, US secretary of state, over counterterrorism cooperation in West Africa.
In a post on X, Secure Nigeria, a social media platform
focused on security issues, stated that the meeting reinforced the partnership
between Nigeria and the US in combating terrorism across the region.
The post added that President Bola Tinubu appreciates the
partnership and continued support of the US government under President Donald
Trump.
“@officialABAT is grateful for @realDonaldTrump’s
partnership and continued U.S. training and intelligence support as Nigerian
forces intensify operations to dismantle terrorist networks, protect Nigerian
Christians, and defend all vulnerable communities,” the post reads.
“Africa’s largest democracy isn’t wavering. Nigeria stands
as a frontline U.S. partner against ISIS, Boko Haram, and rising terror threats
across the Sahel.”
The platform said both countries remain committed to
defeating terrorism and strengthening regional security cooperation.
“This fight is winnable, and together, the U.S. and Nigeria
intend to finish it,” the post added.
In November 2025, Ribadu led a delegation of 10 senior
members of the Nigerian government to meet with US officials in Washington, DC.
In December 2025, Ribadu received a delegation in Abuja from
the United States Congress.
The delegation, led by senior members of the house, included
representatives Mario DÃaz-Balart, Norma Torres, Scott Franklin, Juan
Ciscomani, and Riley Moore.
