US delegation in Nigeria for regional

A United States delegation co-chaired by Deputy Assistant Secretary of
State for African Affairs, William Fitzgerald and Principal Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Defense Joseph McMillan will next week join their Nigerian
counterparts to work out modalities for regional security cooperation.

The two-day crucial meeting is billed to last between January 23-24.

The meeting marks the sixth working group meeting of the U.S.-Nigeria Bi-
national Commission convened to advance shared objectives since its
initiation in April 2010.  

The working group is expected to discuss areas of cooperation for
addressing the professionalization of security responses to extremism,
political responses to security threats, and the role of development in
improving security.

President Goodluck Jonathan had earlier appealed to governments of
Niger, Chad and Benin Republic which share common borders with
Nigeria to help curb the growing security problem within the West Africa.wp_posts
