ABUJA—The Federal Government and its U.S. government are set to collaborate in training, sharing of intelligence and modernisation of security services and logistics, following threats posed to the nation’s internal security by the Boko Haram Islamic sect.

Rising from a meeting between officials of both countries in Abuja, under the aegis of U.S-Nigeria Bi-National Commission, US Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Mr. William Fitzgerald, said the commitment would cover repositioning the Nigeria security services to respond appropriately to security challenges and threats in the country.

He said the technical sub-working group of the meeting will continue to meet in Abuja to explore development of a Nigerian intelligence fusion capability.

Fitzgerald said the talks will be coordinated through the US Embassy in Abuja, in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant Nigerian agencies.

He said: “Both sides re-affirmed their commitment to enhance the operatio-nal capabilities of Nige-ria’s security services.”

by identifying avenues that would enable them to respond appropriately to internal security challenges and other threats.

“Prominent areas of collaboration may include training, intelligence sharing, modernisation of the security services, logistics and other requirements.

“Nigeria and the United States governments resolved to participate in more sustained working level engagement and cooperation on security matters, through the United States Embassy in Abuja, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant security agencies.

“Finally, both the Nigerian and US governments agreed to follow-up on these commitments and seek further collaboration to address the challenges that have been identified during the meeting.

“Both countries welcome the involvement of civil society, community-level organisations and other stakeholders in the next meeting of the Regional Security Cooperation Working Group.”

Speaking on the occasion, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Martin Uhomoibhi, said: “Government would continue to sensitise Nigerians on the need to take issue of security as responsibility of all, and not that of the security agencies alone.

“This is a national responsibility, a responsibility to be discharged by all Nigerians and indeed all residents in the territorial state of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Re: US To Upgrade Nigerian Security Services by Beaf: 7:28am On Jan 25, 2012
Some really encouraging moves, but the US must go the long haul and declare boko haram a terrorist group, so that all power can fall on their grizzy arses.

Re: US To Upgrade Nigerian Security Services by Bliss4Lyfe(f): 7:58am On Jan 25, 2012
When boko haram finally kills American citizens like Al Qaeda in 2001 they will not play watch Nigeria President roast  and desperate with anti-western terror organisation.

I can understand the present situation is ideal for controlling our President and getting him to do as u command but remember the Northern Nigeria bomber on American Flight becos the North is fast becoming a breeding ground for such islamic fighters since u refuse to label them terrorist.

I don't see how that will help wipe out BH. They should just assist our security forces with weapons and tactics training

Nice one, I am optimistic about this. Its all about upgrade. cool
Re: US To Upgrade Nigerian Security Services by thoth: 10:31am On Jan 25, 2012
Mark my words the more the US come in the more the bombings intensify, more innocent people will be killed by the security forces till it turns to an islam vs USA scenario. More foreign forces would be requested to control it and more billions needed for national development would be used on security deals with the West. We will just end up like Congo on an endless and meaningless warfare , our own situation would be more bloody because of our high population and extreme ignorance.

Spot on bro, spot on!  The same way the US trained the CIA/FBI and Osama bin laden. Years later waged war against each other under the 2 bushes' administration (father and son) while awarding all the ammunition supply to their family company Carlyle Group

hmmm some cats are starting to reveal the truth
Re: US To Upgrade Nigerian Security Services by akinnux(m): 12:31pm On Jan 25, 2012
I think we should just hand over the entire security system to the US for a period of 1 or 2 years because all the security personnel in Nigeria are thoroughly compromised. What improvement have we noticed in Nigerian Police with the successive change of the IGP. We should stop deceiving ourselves everyman (security) man is for himself in Nigeria.

No, leave them now. That some Nigerians are cheering this move goes to show you what kind of people Nigerians really are. Let them keep cheering till they become slaves in their own country and Nigeria will never know peace again.

I wonder

Baawaa:

And when they do, we are finished because americans are known to leave an even bigger mess than what they met on ground in the country they claim to be 'helping'. I wish Nigerian leaders would listen but I doubt they will because they don't seem to be too bright/intelligent.

Boko Haram is a far greater threat to Nigeria than America. If you don't believe me, look no further than Somalia.
