The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, on Sunday, said he hosted a United States Congressional delegation in Abuja as part of ongoing security consultations between both countries.
Ribadu, in a message shared on his X handle, said the visit followed earlier talks held in Washington, DC, centred on mutual security interests.
“This morning, I received a US Congressional delegation on a fact-finding mission to Nigeria, following our earlier engagements in Washington, DC, on shared security priorities,” he wrote.
He added that the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, was also present at the meeting — a development he said “reflected the importance both nations attach to this engagement.”
According to Ribadu, discussions during the meeting focused on “counter-terrorism cooperation, regional stability,” and ways to “strengthen the strategic security partnership between Nigeria and the United States.”
“I’m optimistic this engagement will deepen trust, collaboration, and shared commitment to peace and security,” he said.
