Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the progress that the National Security Council has made in developing the Government’s strategy on Nigeria.

​The Government has no plans to make public the detail of National Security Council activity.The Government’s strategy on Nigeria is focused on working with President Buhari’s administration during his second term on our shared goals of prosperity, security, migration and development. We are working together to help Nigeria invest in its people, create more jobs, and address security and stability issues. The former Foreign Secretary met the Nigerian Vice President during his visit in April to discuss long-term solutions to improve livelihoods and opportunity across the country. We routinely work with the Nigerian Government, non-governmental organisations and civil society groups as part of our broader engagement in Nigeria.
