The Minister of Defence, Muhammed Badaru, says Nigeria will strengthen her bilateral relationship with the United Kingdom (UK) to combat insecurity.
Mr Badaru said this when a UK delegation led by the Minister for Armed Forces and Veterans, James Heappey, paid him a courtesy visit in his office.
This is contained in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, by Victoria Agba-Attah, Director, Press and Public Relations of the ministry.
Mr Badaru said that Britain had been supportive in ensuring the safety of Nigerian waterways, adding that security was a dynamic issue which had its own challenges.
He added that the Nigerian and British Military have to work together to combat the Boko Haram threat, and stressed that the West needed to give more support to Nigeria, just as it gave to other nations.
Similarly, in his remarks, the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, said that Nigeria and the UK have had good bilateral relationship.
