What Steps Are Being Taken By The UK Government To Tackle The Humanitarian And Security Crisis In Nigeria?

The UK has urged the Nigerian Government to adopt long-term solutions that seek to address the underlying factors, largely criminality and competition over resources, while promoting human rights for all. In addition, since 2017, £425 million worth of humanitarian aid has supported 1.5 million people in North-East Nigeria. The Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) Lake Chad Basin programme works with the Nigerian military in their response to terrorist groups, as well as broader stabilisation efforts with local communities. In the Middle Belt, efforts are directed toward managing the effects and supporting victims of sexual violence.
