The UK, in close coordination with the US and France, continues to support Nigeria
and its neighbours in their fight against Boko Haram. The UK is providing a substantial
package of UK military, intelligence and development support to Nigeria. We have also
contributed £5 million to support efforts to establish a Multinational Joint Taskforce
against Boko Haram. We are looking to expand our support to Nigeria even further.
The Prime Minister has met President Buhari twice, including during the G7 Summit,
to discuss how we could best help Nigeria win the fight against Boko Haram, including
increasing UK Military Assistance to the region. The National Security Council has
agreed that Nigeria will be a Foreign Policy priority and we have established a new
cross Government unit dedicated to that task.
