The United States Government has again reiterated its commitment and support to end terrorism and other threats to the country’s security.

The U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Kurt Campbell, said security cooperation was at the core of the Nigeria-U.S. partnership.

Campbel, represented by the Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Molly Phee, spoke at the 6th Session of the Nigeria-US Bi-National Commission in Abuja on Monday.

She said, “Security cooperation is another crucial aspect of our relationship. Without security, prosperity will be elusive and human rights threatened. Together, we are working to address the broad security challenges facing Nigeria, terrorism; banditry and piracy threaten its people.

“The U.S. is committed to helping Nigeria build more capable, professional and accountable security forces while ensuring respect for human rights, and fundamental freedoms, including for religious minorities.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has appealed to the US to repatriate more illicit funds transferred from Nigerian officials through its banking system.
