A team of 20 personnel from the British Army are currently living and working in Maiduguri delivering a course focused on enhancing the critical skills needed for continued operations against violent extremist organisations in the North East.

The equipment was received by the Joint Task Force North East (JTF NE) Theatre Commander, Major General Wahidi Shaibu, at a handover ceremony in Maiduguri.

Speaking at the ceremony, Colonel Martin Leach, the deputy head of British Defence Staff (West Africa) & Commander British Military Training Teams in Nigeria, said:

“I am delighted to be here today to hand over this equipment and mark another development in the strong partnership between the United Kingdom and Nigeria. The UK stands with Nigeria in the continued fight against violent extremist organisations in the North East.”

Seven further courses will be delivered between now and February 2025, focussing on training Nigerian Army personnel in the specialist skills required for future operations in the North East of Nigeria.

In addition, the UK currently has personnel attached temporarily to the Theatre Counter-IED Coordination Cell in Maiduguri, working with their Nigerian counterparts to develop intelligence on the terror networks that are killing civilians and soldiers with IEDs.
