The
U.S. Government says it is bringing in officials from its Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other security experts to provide
technical assistance to the Nigerian Government to deal with terrorism.
Mr
Alan Tousignant, Acting Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy,
disclosed this on Monday in Abuja when he led a security delegation on a
courtesy visit to the Minister of Interior, retired Lt.-Gen.
Abdulrahman Dambazau.
The
envoy said that the delegation which comprised a crack team of the U.S
Security Governance Initiative (SGI) was in the country as a follow-up
to its earlier visit in January. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that
the SGI is an initiative of the U.S. Government that offers enhanced
security technical assistance to six African countries, including
Nigeria.
