Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, on Thursday held bilateral talks with the United Kingdom’s Minister of State for Defence, Vernon Coaker, at Lancaster House in London as part of efforts to strengthen defence cooperation between both countries.
The meeting focused on deepening strategic defence partnerships and enhancing collaboration in tackling security challenges affecting Nigeria and the wider region.
Musa was part of the Nigerian delegation accompanying President Bola Tinubu on his official state visit to the United Kingdom.
In a statement issued by his media adviser, Timothy Antigha, the defence minister acknowledged Nigeria’s ongoing security challenges, particularly terrorism and related threats, expressing confidence that they would ultimately be overcome.
He called on Nigerians to continue supporting the Federal Government and the Armed Forces in their efforts to restore peace and security across the country.
“I want to appeal to all Nigerians to continue to support the government and the Armed Forces so we can achieve a safe and secure nation,” Musa said.
The minister also expressed appreciation to President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve in his administration and commended the British government for the warm reception extended to the Nigerian delegation.
