EU’s €20m Defence Package for Nigeria to Fund Night Vision and Anti-Drone Equipment

A €20 million European Union defence support package for Nigeria will fund night-vision equipment, anti-drone systems, counter-IED equipment and protective gear for troops. The package also includes technical training and maintenance support, and is focused on non-lethal supplies. Defence Minister Christopher Musa discussed delivery arrangements with an EU delegation on Friday. The support is expected to strengthen the Armed Forces’ operations, particularly counter-terrorism efforts in the Lake Chad Basin. Musa also called for the EU to support local defence production in Nigeria. The EU said the equipment and other assistance were agreed with Nigeria’s armed forces after bilateral consultations.
