Countries mentioned include Russia, China, Ivory Coast, Ghana, South Africa, and Senegal.
Bilateral agreement between US and Nigeria
The document reportedly calls for Nigeria to strike a bilateral agreement with the United States.
This agreement is said to focus on protecting vulnerable Christian communities from violent persecution, eliminating jihadist terror activity in the region, expanding economic cooperation, and countering adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party and the Russian Federation.
Security cooperation and military equipment
The recommendations also state that Nigeria should continue and expand security cooperation with the United States.
This includes divesting Russian military equipment in favour of American military equipment through sales and financing.
Countering Chinese mining exploitation
The committee’s document highlights concerns about Chinese illegal mining operations in Nigeria. It is reported that these operations destabilise the region by paying protection money to Fulani militias.
Nigeria is urged to counteract this hostile foreign exploitation.
Fulani herdsmen and export leverage
Another recommendation advises Nigeria to review and use points of leverage to compel Fulani herdsmen to disarm.
The document suggests blocking the export of beef and other cattle-related products to countries such as Ivory Coast, Ghana, South Africa, and Senegal as a means of pressure.
