A high-level United States Congressional delegation has arrived in Abuja for renewed security talks with Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. The visit signals Washington’s continued interest in strengthening cooperation on regional stability and counterterrorism.
The mission builds on earlier engagements held in Washington, where both sides discussed shared security priorities and the evolving threats facing West Africa. The Abuja meeting aims to advance those discussions and explore areas for deeper collaboration.
The visit comes at a sensitive moment, as diplomatic tensions between the two countries have recently intensified. Despite the strain, both sides appear committed to maintaining dialogue and safeguarding long-standing ties.
Officials say the renewed talks reflect the strategic importance of Nigeria in regional security and the need for sustained partnership in addressing emerging global challenges.
