Written Question
Nigeria
Tuesday 2nd December 2014

Asked by: John Robertson (Labour - Glasgow North West)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of international support for the Nigerian authorities in tackling Boko Haram.

Answered by James Duddridge

While attacks by Boko Haram continue across the North East of Nigeria, UK and other international support is assisting the Nigerian authorities to improve the coordination and effectiveness of their security operations. I led the UK delegation to the last meeting of regional Foreign Ministers in Abuja on 3 September where I stressed the importance of regional and international cooperation to help Nigeria end the threat from Boko Haram.
