FG not considering any foreign military base
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, on Monday refuted reports on siting foreign military base in Nigeria, saying that the federal government is not considering military base for certain foreign countries.
The Minister in a statement on Monday declared @HMMohammedIdris “The Federal Government is aware of false alarms being raised in some quarters alleging discussions between the Federal Government of Nigeria and some foreign countries on the siting of foreign military bases in the country.
“We urge the general public to totally disregard this falsehood.
“The Federal Government is not in any such discussion with any foreign country. We have neither received nor are we considering any proposals from any country on the establishment of any foreign military bases in Nigeria.
“The Nigerian government already enjoys foreign cooperation in tackling ongoing security challenges, and the President remains committed to deepening these partnerships, with the goal of achieving the national security objectives of the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
