EU unveils €70m security, agriculture support for Nigeria

The European Union has pledged €70 million in support for Nigeria, divided into €45 million for security and peacebuilding efforts and €25 million for agricultural development. This was announced during a meeting between Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and the EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Gautier Mignot. The funding includes specific allocations for counter-terrorism capabilities, peacebuilding in the North-West region, and a flagship agricultural program targeting Nigeria's dairy and cocoa sectors. The EU also mentioned plans for a potential state visit by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to Brussels in October 2026 to further solidify bilateral relations. Additional discussions covered agreements related to readmission and science, technology, and innovation cooperation.
