    About our Nigeria Security and Defence news

    Latest news on Nigeria's defence and military, covering armed forces operations, security challenges, Boko Haram counter-terrorism, and defence procurement.

    Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, maintains one of the continent's largest military forces, with approximately 223,000 active personnel across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Nigerian Armed Forces play a crucial role in maintaining national security and contributing to regional peacekeeping operations.

    The military continues to face significant challenges, particularly in combating insurgency in the northeast, tackling banditry in the northwest, and addressing maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea. Recent defence modernisation efforts have included major equipment acquisitions, including JF-17 Thunder fighter aircraft from Pakistan and enhanced naval capabilities.

    Nigeria's defence sector extends beyond traditional military operations, encompassing joint exercises with international partners, humanitarian assistance, and disaster response. The armed forces regularly conduct civil-military cooperation activities, working closely with local communities to build trust and enhance security coordination.

    Since independence in 1960, Nigeria's military has evolved from its British colonial foundations to become a significant regional power. The armed forces have participated in numerous peacekeeping missions across Africa, including major operations in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Mali, establishing Nigeria as a key contributor to regional stability.

    Our Âé¶¹´«Ã½ feed delivers comprehensive coverage of Nigeria's defence sector, from military operations and equipment acquisitions to strategic partnerships and policy developments. Whether you're interested in defence modernisation, security operations, or military diplomacy, our feed provides reliable, up-to-date information about Africa's largest military force.
