What Nigeria must do to address security challenges – U.S.

"We also need a regional approach to this problem because these terrorists are running across borders, we all need to work together," the U.S. diplomat said.The U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, on Thursday, said Nigeria needs to address its security challenges holistically.

She noted that it is one thing to root out terrorists from communities, but the government must then provide sustainable police and community security as well as better services and governance, else, “those guys are just going to be back.” During her visit, Ms Nuland had a roundtable with civil society organisations to discuss the 2023 elections.

“We also talked about our security relationship more broadly but at the high end in terms of the holistic approach to security… we are about to have a new delivery of helicopters as well. But we talked about the fact that security in our cooperation needs to be about countering terrorism at the high end but it also needs to be about what comes behind – better governance, better opportunity , driving out the ability of terrorists to make inroads to community.

In Djibouti, with an interagency team, she met with government counterparts to advance U.S.-Djibouti relations and close security cooperation. She was also a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, Distinguished Practitioner in Grand Strategy at Yale University, and a Member of the Board of the National Endowment for Democracy.
