This is as a follow up to President Buhari’s recent visit to United States of America. It will be recalled that based on allegation of human rights abuse leveled against Nigeria by the Human Rights Organization, the United States refused to sell ammunition to Nigerian Military as enshrined in Leahy law prohibiting her from providing military assistance to foreign countries guilty of violation of human rights with impunity.

The meeting was therefore one of the efforts being made by the two countries to resolve the accusation and counter accusation by the Human Rights Organization and Nigeria. Briefing newsmen after a closed door meeting, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Alhaji Ismail Aliyu stated that having identified gaps created in the relationship between the two countries, deliberations made centred on the issues of insecurity in Nigeria and improvement on human rights. He stated that the visit of Mr President was a great gain to the country, which has rekindled the hope and aspirations of the two countries to resolve the matter.

The visitors were much concerned about the security situation in Nigeria and in the Lake Chad Basin area which informed the basis for the visit. He noted that all identified gaps would be definitely workedon. “We discussed the issues of security and human rights and they are pleased with the discussions”, he concluded.

The leader of the delegation, Darrel Issa reiterated that their visit was to fashion out possible modalities towards assisting Nigeria in her challenge with additional technical support through provision of overhead surveillance and other logistics to fight boko haram and stop oil theft by pirates. He noted that discussions were made in such a way that both parties have confidence that the rules of law have been obeyed.

He pointed out that the process to lift restrictions as prescribed Leahy has begun and the US is looking forward to reactivate a proactive relationship upon which she can provide a much robust support.

Present at the meeting were the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Gabriel Olonisakin, Chief of Army Staff, Major General Yusuf Buratai, Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok Ette Ibas, Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Sadiq Abubakar, other top military officers and top government functionaries.

Thank God it is working! Nice one Buhari-Oshibajl team

The way the US are using Buhari, don't be surprised if an American makes the ministerial list.

Ok

What would one say?

kossyablaze:
boy how far na

prove to me she's a boy?

The NA need 2015 models of Ak rifles I suggest

Now PMB visit to the US is yielding result. No too much talk talk. He's just working.

The wailers are wailing loud.

They were screaming that the US trip was a waste, and celebrated the initial suspension of our request for arms. I'm glad PMB came down hard on Obama by accusing his govt of aiding BH by the refusal, that is something the docile ex-comedian-in-chief could never have achieved.

My sister, I dey o.

Fear no catch you? For all the talk about his stoic character, what we see is a spineless star-struck octagenarian, desperate to appease his western benefactors.

What do dey want again, sebi dem refuse to sell ammunition to our army

Wow! Change every where.
GOD bless PMB/PYO
GOD bless Nigeria.

it was a futile expedition due to the huge cost of the trip which could have been avoided with just a phone call to ascertain which held more sway between the US Democrat executive and the Republican controlled Legislature. PMB came down hard you say, what a joke. He simply lost his cool when he realised that the democrats were dragging their feet and had been playing him all along. Whatever comes out of this agreement will be antagonistic to the APC government in the long run

Seems the trip to the US wasnt a waste afterall compare to the collossial waste that we are accustomed to
Hopefully the chibok girls will come home soon.

It doesn't matter if you spin the truth from now till eternity, this nation will tear you to shreds when you fail to provide the basic amenities, so I suggest you start working and stop spinning
