answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK and Nigeria share a deep and long-standing Defence partnership. Since 2014, the UK has sought to support and enable a Nigerian-led regional response to Boko Haram and related violent extremism, doing so in the context of the long-term need to help build capacity of the Nigerian Armed Forces and support Defence Transformation. Some 70 Defence personnel are currently deployed to Nigeria on an enduring basis, and over 800 have deployed to Nigeria on training and advisory tasks since April 2015. This is supported by equipment gifting, places on professional development courses, and a focus on developing Nigerian Command, Staff, and Leadership institutions.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 05/11/2018 16:58:12 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
