Nigeria and Niger have signed a deal to boost their security cooperation.

The Nigerian military announced tensions between the neighbours since a coup in Niger a year ago.

After the signing in Niger's capital Niamey a Nigerian military statement said both parties reaffirmed their commitment to resuming and strengthening collaboration, intending to ensure regional stability and security.

Ties between the two countries soured after Niger's junta toppled Mohamed Bazoum and the July 2023 coup has also split the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), raising questions about the fight against Islamist violence in the region.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Douglas Ogbankwa Esq, convener of the National Movement, about actualising good governance.
