Nigeria-US Security Partnership Vital Against Terrorism

The Nigerian Presidency, represented by Special Adviser Sunday Dare, stated that the security partnership with the United States is a crucial step toward ending terrorism and banditry, which pose significant security threats across Nigeria. During a media communication, Dare emphasized the importance of intelligence sharing and collaborative efforts between Nigeria and the United States to effectively dismantle insurgent groups and criminal networks operating within the region.

The Tinubu administration remains committed to restoring peace nationwide, protecting lives and property, and defending Nigeria's territorial integrity against both internal and external threats. Dare also expressed concern over the growing spread of misinformation and fake news on digital platforms, warning that such content could weaken national security and erode public trust.

He cautioned that the circulation of unverifiable information could heighten social tensions, trigger unrest, and create unnecessary panic among citizens, urging Nigerians to remain vigilant and avoid becoming tools for disseminating destabilizing content.
