The European Union has advised the Nigerian government to look beyond military deployment in the ongoing war against terrorism in the North-east and other crises causing insecurity across the country.
Karlsen reaffirmed the commitment of EU to a strong and robust mutually beneficial partnership with Nigeria, and declared its continued support for the country in addressing challenges and seeking opportunities. Karlsen cited the outstanding strides made in recent times as the EU and Nigeria collaborated to address issues of common concerns, leveraging of their wide and deep partnership.
He noted that the EU has within these 10 eventful years contributed in promoting peace and security, democratic governance and rule of law, human rights and freedoms, prosperity and decent living at home and around the world. “Since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999, the EU has supported its democratic process with over €100 million. The EU has consistently deployed an Election Observation Mission in each of the general elections. EU’s support aims to strengthen key democratic institutions including INEC, the National Assembly, the civil society and the media.”
He stated that while the EU takes the lead in promoting human rights and freedoms, Nigeria is one of the pilot countries for the EU-UN Global Spotlight Initiative, a multi-year joint effort to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls by 2030 with an initial investment in the order of €25 million made to Nigeria.
