The United States Government has pledged to support Nigeria’s war against terrorism, as the country marks a decade of the mass abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in Chibok, North-East, by terrorists.
Spokesperson of the U.S. Embassy, Aishah Gambari, stated this in a statement in Abuja.
Gambari said the U.S. would also support Nigeria’s terrorism survivors and their families, saying that the U.S.-Nigeria partnership was built on a foundation of shared values and common goals.
According to her, the U.S. will continue to support Nigeria’s efforts to combat terrorism, and to hold perpetrators of terrorist attacks accountable, as well as guarantee citizens’ safety and well-being.
The U.S spokesperson added that the two countries will continue to work together to promote peace, security, and stability in the region, and to support initiatives that will foster education, economic growth, and human rights.
Gambari noted that the United States stands with Nigeria in its fight against extremism and its commitment to creating a safer, more prosperous future for all its people.
