…Says it is committed to helping country solve its security threats
The United States government says Nigerias security crises are extraordinary, but that President Muhammadu Buhari is very focused on them.
This was made known by US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken while speaking during a virtual roundtable with some African journalists.
Blinken said his country is in absolute solidarity with Nigeria in resolving the security threats.
Recall that Nigeria had witnessed more than ten security incidents on Monday as killings and attacks continued across the country.
In the North, residents remain at the mercy of Boko Haram insurgents and bandits while security and government agencies are increasingly becoming targets of attacks by gunmen in the South.
He said: It is fair to say that the challenges that Nigeria faces when it comes to security are quite extraordinary whether its terrorism, whether its banditry and criminality, whether its piracy.
“We are in absolute solidarity between us in trying to address these challenges together. And the United States is committed to supporting Nigeria as it meets these challenges”.
