The new Nigerian government has officially announced the cancellation of the military agreement with the United States, which previously permitted US military presence in the country. The Nigerian Military Council has unilaterally terminated this agreement, with the council’s spokesperson stating that the US military presence in Nigeria is now deemed illegal and contrary to the national interests of the country. Additionally, approximately 7 months ago, the Nigerian army successfully removed former President Mohamed Bazoum from power and subsequently ended the French military presence on Nigerian territory.
