A United States congressman says Nigeria and the US are close to agreeing on a strategic security framework aimed at addressing Boko Haram, ISIS and other security threats in the country.

The lawmaker, Moore, who recently visited Nigeria with a delegation of US Congress members, said discussions with Nigerian authorities were “positive” and focused on strengthening cooperation to confront terrorism and insecurity.

In a post on X, accompanied by a short video clip from his interview on Fox News, Moore said the delegation engaged Nigerian officials on ways to curb extremist violence, particularly in the North-East, while also addressing wider security challenges across the country.

“We did have positive conversations with the Nigerian government, and I believe we are close to a strategic security framework to address both the ISIS and Boko Haram threat in the North-East,” Moore said.

He added that during the visit, the delegation met with victims of terrorist attacks in northern Nigeria, describing their experiences as deeply distressing.

“What I witnessed during my trip to Nigeria was heartbreaking,” he said, recounting meetings with women who lost multiple family members to violent attacks.

Moore said he intends to submit a report to US President Donald Trump outlining areas of cooperation with Nigeria, with the aim of improving security and protecting civilians.

While in Nigeria, Moore was joined by fellow US lawmakers, including Mario Díaz-Balart, Norma Torres, Scott Franklin and Juan Ciscomani. The delegation visited several communities in the North and held talks with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, at his office in Abuja.

Moore has been among US politicians calling for increased international attention to Nigeria’s security challenges and has consistently advocated stronger US involvement in efforts to combat terrorism in the country.
