The Honourable Minister of State for Defence, Dr. @Bellomatawalle1 , MON, last week joined other dignitaries at the German Unity Day Celebration hosted by the German Diplomatic Missions in Nigeria at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, Maitama, Abuja.
The celebration, which commemorates Germany鈥檚 reunification, also provided a platform to reflect on the growing and strategic defence partnership between Nigeria and Germany.
Germany regards Nigeria as a key anchor for stability in West Africa. In line with this recognition, its support to Nigeria is centred on strategic capacity building, institutional development and civilian-military reforms, rather than direct combat interventions.
The defence cooperation between both countries is largely driven through the German Technical Advisory Group (G-TAG), which continues to provide the Nigerian Armed Forces with specialised training in counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) operations and combat tactical medical care, as well as technical capacity through institutions such as the military Mechatronics School. This is complemented by sustained material support and investments in medical infrastructure.
