France has expressed strong solidarity with Nigeria as the country grapples with escalating security challenges, especially persistent terrorist attacks in the North.

French President Emmanuel Macron disclosed that he spoke with President Bola Tinubu, pledging to deepen cooperation with Nigerian authorities and provide greater support to affected communities. Macron highlighted the need for collective international action, stressing that no nation can remain passive in the face of such crises.

“I conveyed France’s solidarity in the face of the various security challenges, particularly the terrorist threat in the North. At his request, we will strengthen our partnership with the authorities and our support for the affected populations. We call on all our partners to step up their engagement. No one can remain a spectator,” Macron said in a post on X on Sunday.

His statement underscores growing international concern over Nigeria’s security situation and France’s readiness to work closely with Nigerian authorities to address the escalating threats.
