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 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. answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 20/07/2015 15:18:27 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
