Nigeria’s Participation in UN Peacekeeping Declines-
Defence Minister

It is with great pleasure that I stand before you for the United
Nations Peacekeeping Ministerial on Uniformed Capabilities
Performance and Protection of Civilians.

Let me start by expressing my appreciation to the United Nations
and our host for organizing this important Ministerial which
presents opportunity to discuss and generate the specialized
capabilities necessary for the United Nations Peacekeeping.

I also want to applaud the Secretary General’s ongoing effort to
strengthen peacekeeping operations through Action for Peacekeeping
(A4P) Initiative with a specific focus on uniformed capabilities,
performance and the protection of civilians.

Nigeria’s participation in UN Peacekeeping has declined
significantly of recent, mainly due to her commitment to the war on
insurgency in the North-Eastern part of the Country and
Sub-regional Peacekeeping commitments.

I am pleased to inform Your Excellencies that a lot of successes
have been achieved in the fight against terrorism and we are in the
process of demining affected areas and rebuilding communities.
These successes have no doubt io8m International Community and
countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.

Despite the above mentione Nations arecognition from the United
Nations Integrated Training Service into August 2018. The renewal
of the recognition has been requested by the Centre to meeting cup
with international standards. This was after the curriculum was
reviewed and updated in line with the present- day peacekeeping
contemporary challenges. When approved, the Centre would serve as
an additional training hub to the Regional Service Centre Entebbe,
Uganda thereby reducing its burden.

I am also pleased to state that the Federal Government of
Nigeria has put in place adequate measures in enhancing the
performance of our troops and protection of civilians during
peacekeeping operations. These measures include effective
pre-deployment and in-mission training for troops, zero tolerance
to Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, clear leadership and instructions
to troops as well as deployment of more female peacekeepers cfor
effective peace operations and to better protect civilians amongst
others.

On this note, on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, I
wish to assure the United Nations of our continuous commitment and
support to ensure international peace and security.
Thank you for listening.
