SDP4 in Abuja: Charting the Future of UK–Nigeria Security Partnership

Abuja is hosting the Fourth UK–Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership (SDP4) Dialogue, reaffirming a vital bilateral cooperation in counterterrorism, cyber defence and regional stability. Both countries’ security advisers highlighted measurable gains since the inaugural 2022 dialogue—enhanced intelligence sharing, stronger counter-terrorism coordination and new cyber resilience initiatives. They stressed the need for integrated responses to modern threats like disinformation, AI-enabled attacks and illicit finance. With Nigeria’s leadership role in West African stability and the UK’s strategic support, SDP4 seeks to turn trust into action. Success will be judged by stronger institutions, safer communities and sustained regional security outcomes.
