The Federal Government of Nigeria on Friday confirmed that it engaged and cooperated with the United States following its military airstrikes against terrorist targets in the country’s North West region.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja, titled “Nigeria–United States Security Cooperation and Intelligence Collaboration Hits at Terrorist Targets in Nigeria.”
The development signals a renewed wave of military cooperation between Nigeria and foreign partners, particularly amid debates among analysts over whether Nigerian airspace can be accessed without the country’s approval.
