Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, Ambassador Gabriel Tanimu Aduda
reaffirmed the Nigerian government’s commitment to enhancing military cooperation with the State of Israel during a recent courtesy visit from Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, at the Ministry’s headquarters in Ship House, Abuja.

During their meeting, the two officials discussed strategies for bolstering defence cooperation, strengthening mutual security frameworks, and exploring opportunities for enhanced military training and capacity building within the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Ambassador Aduda highlighted the critical need to deepen defence ties in the light of evolving global security challenges. He emphasized the importance of strategic areas such as t operations, knowledge exchange, and the modernization of defence cooperation.

The discussions also included plans to finalize a new bilateral defence agreement aimed at fostering technical collaboration in defence industry development.

The Ministry of Defence is in the process of reforming the Defence Industry corporation so as to achieve effective regulation of the sector.

Soon Nigeria will have the regulatory arm of DICON to regulate and license participation in the defence industry, as well as the commercial arm that will enter into partnerships and collaborations to assemble or manufacture arms and ammunition, UAVs and armoured vehicles alongside reputable original Equipment6 manufacturers globally.

According to Ambassador Aduda "The Ministry will engage in strategic initiatives to replicate successful Israeli military cooperation frameworks in Nigeria, thereby enhancing our national defence architecture.”

In response, Ambassador Michael Freeman expressed gratitude for the audience and underscored the significance of this partnership as a progressive step toward achieving innovative defence solutions.

He extended a formal invitation to Ambassador Aduda and his team to visit Israel, with the goal of further strengthening the ties between the two countries.

Israel will disarm Boko Haram, disarm Fulani herdsmen, disarm ISWAP, and force the religious and political leaders of the 12 sharia states of northern Nigeria to rescind their adoption of unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system.
Boko Haram/ISWAP/Fulani herdsmen are in a fight to get Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system.

Good

Israel defence and military is one of the best and fiercest in the world. A no nonsense military. No wonder she fights Hamas, Hezbollah, houthi and Iran all at the same time and Israel is still remaining strong

.
Nice cooperating with the country that really knows how to smoke out terrorists and send them to Virginia.
.

Too much talk. No action. The defence minister should be sacked. Only FCT minister and the minister of interior are working. Others are sleeping. 😴

Now you are talking.

A very good move.


Recently, I read about defence corporation with Bosnia, which country is that?

Nigeria, as at this time, is still struggling with terrorism so a military corporation with the state of Israel is a very good step to take.

Some terrorists already peeing in their tros.

Its just for the safety of Nigeria

Israel has always been deeply involved in Nigeria's security.

BAT bye bye

Hope u wouldn't put clause let Israel talk to terrorists. They will easily understand

This is a good step in the right direction.We need Israel expertise advice and in fighting and overcoming insecurities of terrorists and bandits attack in Nigeria.

Buhari government sent them away, hopefully this government will collaborate with Israel to dismantle this terrorist.

Isreal defense networks like the iron dome , David Sling , Arrow 3 and the newly produced drone interceptor , the laser one , can't the name has been put to test against IRGC missiles from Syria and Iraq , ballistics from Yemen , Gaza
Hezbollah barrage of drone and ballistics from Lebanon and the hypersonics from Iran .
Not surprised countries are now partnering with Isreal in strengthening their defence too .
I give it to the isrealites . They are battle tested .

The sw wants to use smile smile laff laff, fraudulent friendship, to woo Israel from the igbos and Nigeria's resources, so that, they can use that leverage and deal with the igbos.



The great state of Israel knows who love them in Africa, and especially nigeria. They know it is the igbo tribe that loves and respects them, especially in nigeria.

I'm not crying. I no send anybody Papa! I'm just pointing out to you local bigots that foreign policy and international trade is about interests and not sentiments and emotions.

Bro Israel is not useful for us, not even the US but trust our Naija politicians to make the money bag available, they never disappoint with their lack of proper reasoning.
