At the handover ceremony, Deputy High Commissioner Mr Jonny Baxter said: The UK has deep interests in Nigeria’s development, security, and stability. We enjoy a long-standing security and defence relationship underpinned by a shared desire to support regional and international peace and security. Our work with the Nigeria Armed Forces seeks to build capacity to address the root causes of insurgency and insecurity and support institutional modernisation and transformation.
