Answer
The UK Government regularly advocates for the protections of all vulnerable communities with the Government of Nigeria and other influential parties. For example, during his visit to Nigeria in May, the former Minister for Africa met with ministers and officials to discuss insecurity and intercommunal violence in Nigeria, with a focus on tackling root causes. Additionally, the UK is working through programmes like SPRiNG (Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria) and the UK-Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership to promote peace, strengthen local institutions, and protect civilians.
