The delegation was led by the newly confirmed US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Frank Garcia, during his first official visit to Nigeria since assuming office.
Ribadu said the meeting focused on reviewing the progress of the Nigeria-US Joint Working Group and deepening collaboration on shared security priorities.
“The meeting strengthened the strong and enduring Nigeria–US partnership and assessed the progress of our Joint Working Group.
“We restated our shared commitment to deeper dialogue, cooperation and mutual security priorities,” Ribadu said in a statement posted on his Facebook page.
The engagement comes as Nigeria continues to battle rising insecurity, with terrorists, bandits and other criminal groups carrying out attacks across different parts of the country.
Kidnappings, killings and violent attacks have remained major concerns, with several communities affected by persistent security threats.
