The United States has delivered vital military equipment to Nigeria, strengthening their shared security partnership and supporting Nigeria’s ongoing operations against terrorism and violent extremism. The delivery, confirmed by the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), was handed over to Nigerian authorities in Abuja.
This move comes after the US carried out airstrikes targeting Islamic State militants in northwest Nigeria in December 2025, in coordination with Nigerian authorities. The cooperation includes intelligence sharing, strategic coordination, and logistical support, aiming to combat terrorist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP.
The US engagement reflects growing concern over Nigeria’s security challenges, which have broader implications for regional peace and US strategic interests in Africa. Nigeria’s government has welcomed the support, emphasizing the need for enhanced collaboration to tackle persistent security threats.
