The European Union is set to provide £20 million in defence assistance to Nigeria, according to the Minister of Defence, Gen Christopher Musa. The funding will be provided under the European Peace Facility, with an EU technical delegation visiting Abuja in November to finalize delivery details. Musa praised the EU's continued support for Nigeria's security efforts and reiterated the government's commitment to protecting lives and property.
He identified kidnapping along major highways and attacks on isolated communities as ongoing security challenges, but noted that relative peace is gradually returning to the country due to the efforts of the military and other security agencies.
