US Army General Stephen Townsend, commander, US Africa Command, wrapped up a three-day West African visit with a stop in Nigeria to meet with the nation’s leaders and further the long-standing partnership and security cooperation between the two nations.
During the visit on 25 February, Townsend met with the Nigerian President’s Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, and National Security Adviser, Babagan Monguno, to discuss regional security issues and to express the command’s gratitude for the assistance provided during a hostage rescue operation last year.
“When we asked for their help, the Nigerian government answered the call. Our hostage recovery mission in October would have been impossible without their support,” said Townsend. “They quickly provided assistance that helped the US military to save an American life. That is a strong example of our partnership with Nigeria.”
