“Right now, we are still suffering from the situation that led to the removal of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya,' the Nigerian official said.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Adamu Lamuwa, says the role of Nigeria as a big brother in Africa had helped in addressing security challenges in the continent.
He said Nigeria’s foreign policy objective on Africa was premised on the basis of its big brother status in the continent and its contributions to peace in different countries. According to him, sub-Saharan Africa has continued to feel the impact of the Libyan crisis that has led to a proliferation of terrorist groups and illicit arms.“Nigeria, for example, does not live in isolation within a global village. So whatever happens outside our shores, if we don’t take care of it very quickly, it will affect us.
“These are the problems that we have inherited as a result of the issues that are outside the walls of our country,” he said. The commandant said transnational security challenges in the subregion still remain an issue of great concern.
