President Bola Tinubu on Friday met with the Director of the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Christopher Asher Wray, at the State House in Abuja, where he pledged Nigeria's commitment to eliminating terrorism, cybercrime, and other criminal activities.
During the meeting, Tinubu emphasized the need for collaboration between Nigeria and other countries in West Africa to rid the region of crimes.
He highlighted the efforts of various Nigerian agencies in reducing crimes to the minimum and expressed Nigeria's commitment to working with other West African countries to combat economic and related crimes.
Tinubu also stressed the importance of education as a tool against poverty, which is generally believed to be a driver of criminal activities.
He called on the United States to support developing countries with the requisite technology and knowledge transfer required to combat complex international crimes.
In his remarks, Director Wray stated that his visit was aimed at enhancing the "outstanding partnership" that exists between the government of Nigeria and the government of the United States.
