Prof. Osinbajo stated this in Abuja on Thursday when he received the new US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mrs. Mary Beth Leonard, on a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa.
The increase in activities and threats by terrorist groups in the Sahel region can be largely curbed by stepping up relations between Nigeria and the United States of America, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Noting the good relationship between Nigeria and the US, the Vice President called for an even more robust cooperation.
The vice president also observed that apart from poverty, terrorism is a major issue affecting the Sahel region and this is the best chance of making progress on those issues.
