Nigeria pursues co-operation with Niger, Cameroon to tackle security challenges
A
statement issued by the Country’s defence ministry said “Chief of Defence
Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin has embarked on official trips to Niger
Republic and Republic of Cameroon where he met with the top Government
functionaries of the two countries”.
“In
Niger Republic, General Olonisakin met with the President of the country,
Mahamadou Issoufou as well as the Chief of Defence Staff, General Seyni Garba
where discussion on issues that concern the two friendly countries were
highlighted.”
General
Olonisakin commended the Niger President for the country’s role in counter
terrorism operations in Lake Chad Basin and the country’s role in the formation
of Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF).
He
also expressed delight that Boko Haram has been significantly decimated, a feat
which called for stronger ties between Nigeria and its neighbours to ensure
that no safe haven is provided for the retreating Boko Haram terrorists in the
sub-region.
General
Olonisakin solicited for improved intelligence gathering and sharing, air asset
operations and counter-Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) operations within
the Lake Chad Basin countries and across ECOWAS States.
While
in Cameroon, Nigeria’s CDS was received by the Cameroonian Honorable Minister
of Defence, Edgard Allain Mebe Ngo’o and the country’s Chief of Defence Staff,
General Rene-Claude Meka where similar discussion, as in Niger Republic,
occurred.
One
of the highlights of the discussion in Cameroon however, was in the area of
stronger cooperation in maritime environment, especially in the Gulf of Guinea,
to tackle the incessant case of bunkering, oil theft and piracy.
