<p>Since 2014, the UK has sought to support and enable a Nigerian-led regional response
to Boko Haram and related violent extremism in the north-east, 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>
