Abuja-Following the ongoing fight against terrorism and insecurity, the Isreali government has offered a hand of collaboration to Nigeria.
The Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Uriel Palti who announced this on Wednesday when he paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of Interior LT.Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau in Abuja, said that Israel is ready to collaborate with Nigeria in the fight against terrorism.
Palti noted that Israel is also facing similar terrorist attacks and insecurity, calling for the strengthening of the the relationship between the two countries to ensure continuity in the building and structures in all fields, especially in the field that exists in the Ministry of Interior.
Reacting to the Ambassador, the Minister of Interior Lt.Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau said that the collaboration is a welcome development as no country can work in isolation in the fight against terrorism.
Dambazau stated that Boko Haram insurgency is no longer a problem peculiar to Nigeria alone but a regional problem affecting four other countries, adding that every nation has a role to play in the fight against the terror group.
He further expressed happiness over the offer from the Israeli government, especially to the Interior Ministry which he said is the hub of internal security in Nigeria with the five strategic security institutions, adding that the major challenge of dealing with internal security is in the Ministry.
The Minister added that he looks forward to partner Isreal for mutual interest to deal with some issues in the future.
