The Muhammadu Buhari administration is expected to reverse Goodluck Jonathan's decision about US Military programme in Nigeria.
Goodluck Jonathan had canceled the military training of Nigerian Armed Forces following US refusal to sell some military weapons to Nigeria.
Reports say Buhari is now ready to restore the United States military program to train Nigerian troops.
The training has become necessary because of what government calls ‘growing aggression in the north-east’. The military has been tackling a terrorist group, the Boko Haram, in the region for over five years now.
The U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr James Entwistle, insists that Nigeria and the U.S. have military training agreement.
”We had at Nigeria’s request agreed to train some battalion. Some of the trainers in the world have been provided by the United States”.
