was cordial and President Buhari congratulated Trump on his election as
President of the United States, and on his cabinet.”
The statement added that
the “two leaders discussed ways to improve cooperation in the fight against
terrorism through provision of necessary equipment.”
It further stated that
“President Trump encouraged President Buhari to keep up the good work he is
doing, and also commended him for the efforts made in rescuing 24 of the Chibok
Girls and the strides being taken by the Nigerian military.” Trump “assured the
Nigerian President of US readiness to cut a new deal in helping Nigeria in
terms of military weapons to combat terrorism.”
The America President also
invited Buhari to Washington “at a mutually convenient date.”
