Lieutenant General Shaibu made the call during a courtesy visit from the United States Defence Attaché to Nigeria, Lieutenant Colonel Semira Moore, at the Army Headquarters in Abuja. The Chief of Army Staff commended the United States for its sustained support and partnership, noting that the Nigerian Army has benefited from American military professionalism and institutional expertise. He highlighted that several senior officers, including himself, received training at professional military institutions in the United States, demonstrating the depth of the bilateral military relationship.
Shaibu expressed the Nigerian Army’s interest in leveraging the United States Army’s experience in both kinetic and non-kinetic operations. He advocated for expanded cooperation to enhance operational effectiveness, institutional capacity, doctrine development, and strategic capability, stressing that international military partnerships complement Nigeria’s internal security efforts and contribute to peace and stability.
In her remarks, Lieutenant Colonel Moore praised the cordial relations between the two armies and reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to strengthening existing ties while exploring new areas of collaboration. She noted that future cooperation would focus on capacity building, intelligence sharing, and joint operational planning, as well as support in non-kinetic areas such as humanitarian assistance and troop welfare to sustain morale and effectiveness.
The United States has long been a key defence partner for Nigeria, providing training, advisory support, capacity building, and limited equipment supply. These engagements are coordinated through the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and bilateral military cooperation frameworks. Recently, AFRICOM delivered operational materials to Nigeria to support ongoing efforts to combat insecurity.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has denied claims that he ordered the revocation of the licence of Rainbow Event Centre, which hosted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention on February 14, 2026.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Wike said the party should stop blaming him for its internal issues, insisting that the ADC is already heading towards political failure on its own.
The ADC had alleged that FCT authorities denied it access to venues for its convention and attempted to stop the use of the Rainbow Event Centre before the event eventually held there.
Reacting, Wike said investigations have already been launched into the matter and directed his Chief of Staff to identify any staff member involved in the alleged interference.
He stated: “We will not allow people to just wake up and say the FCT Minister did this or that. I have told my Chief of Staff to find out from the company which staff member interfered. We will get to the bottom of this.”
Meanwhile, Wike also commented on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s political ambitions, saying he would have to wait until 2031 to contest for the presidency.
He said there is “no space” for Atiku in 2027, adding that he could try again in 2031 when he would be 82 years old.
Wike made the remarks during an inspection of ongoing road projects in Kuje Area Council on Thursday, while also criticising Atiku’s repeated attacks on the current administration and insisting that President Bola Tinubu has performed better than previous leadership.
