Liberia’s Minister of National Defence
The Minister of National Defence of
Liberia, Honourable Brownie J Samukai Jr has described the Nigerian Armed
Forces as very professional and outstanding, adding that he would continue to
appreciate them for the training support they have been giving to his home
country since 2006.
The minister made this remark when he
visited Nigeria’s Chief of the Defence Staff, General Abayomi Gabriel
Olonisakin in his office at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja.
The minister further stated that Liberia
would forever regard Nigeria as a big brother for the role it played in the
restoration of peace, democratic governance and security in their country. He said the reorganised military they have is
a product of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
Samukai Jr who in the company of his country’s
Ambassador to Nigeria solicited more support from the Nigerian Armed Forces in
the areas of training and vacancies for courses and cooperation for enhancing
bilateral defence cooperation between the two countries said that his
government would stand shoulder to shoulder with Nigeria in ensuring that
terrorist activities are effectively stamped out in Nigeria. He therefore,
stated his country’s readiness to support in whatever way to rout out terrorism
in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
Responding, the CDS thanked the minister
for the visit and assured him that the two countries would continue to partner
in order to be able to contribute in the development of the two countries and
the sub-region in general.
He also pleaded that the Nigerian Armed
Forces would continue to render training support to the Armed Forces of Liberia
in order to ensure collective security to the sub-region and the world at large.
