During a high-level bilateral engagement in Washington, D.C., the Nigerian Defence Minister, General Christopher Gwabin Musa (rtd), joined a delegation that included the Minister of Finance, the Chief of Defence Staff, and the Chief of Defence Intelligence. The discussions focused on shared security architecture, intelligence collaboration, and operational synergies, as outlined in a statement by the Special Assistant on Media to the Minister of Defence.
