Insecurity: Nigeria-US Security Collaboration Key To Anti-Terror War — Presidency
By Rotela Oguns
The Presidency has described the Nigeria-United States security joint collaboration as key to rid the country of terrorism, banditry and allied insurgency.
Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, made this assertion on Tuesday during an X Space discussion.
According to Dare, intelligence sharing, security collaboration and joint counter-terrorism operations between both countries remain critical to dismantling insurgent groups and criminal networks operating within the region.
He stressed that the Tinubu administration remains focused on restoring peace across the country, protecting lives and property, and safeguarding Nigeria’s territorial integrity against internal and external threats.
Dare noted that the growing collaboration between Nigeria and the United States reflects a shared determination to tackle security challenges through coordinated action, capacity building and intelligence-driven operations. NigerianAgricultural Insurance
He also raised concerns over the increasing spread of misinformation and fake news on digital platforms, warning that false narratives could undermine national security and public confidence.
“The deliberate spread of false information can create unnecessary panic, provoke disorder, and threaten national cohesion. Nigerians must remain vigilant and avoid becoming tools in the dissemination of content capable of destabilizing the country,” he said.
Nigeria has been battling insurgency in all forms for over a decade leading to a surge in the insecurity in the country.
Lives are lost to banditry and insurgency on almost on a daily basis. The Nigerian government appears to have been run ragged by the problem prompting the decision to call for a collaboration with the United States of America.
Towards the tail end of last year some of the fortresses of terrorists in the Northeast of the country were bombed by the US military and hundreds of insurgents were reportedly killed during the operation.
