Nigerian defense minister Bashir Salihi Magashi in a meeting with the Iranian ambassador to Nigeria Mohammad Alibak stressed the need for expanding and strengthening Iran-Nigeria military cooperation.

"Nigeria pays attention to the true allies and their support as the country battles multiple threats to its territorial integrity," Magashi stressed, adding that suggestions have been offered to improve the military relations between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Nigerian minister of defense also asked the Iranian envoy to provide applicable models for establishing strong interactions between the armed forces of the two countries.
