The US says it has no plans to build a military base in Nigeria after some northern leaders had alleged that it have been lobbying.

Some northern leaders havethat the US and French governments have been lobbying Nigeria to sign new defence pacts, allowing them to redeploy their expelled troops from the Sahel.
