- Intelligence sharing
- Capacity building
Outlook and Commitment
The ongoing presence of Boko Haram continues to negatively affect Nigeria’s development and security landscape. However, the Nigerian government remains committed to restoring peace and security, with a strong focus on eliminating the threat posed by the insurgents.
