Finally, US may sell Arms to Nigeria to tackle Boko Haram

The United States is considering lifting restrictions on sales of arms to Nigeria, officials of the U.S. Congress have said.

A delegation from the U.S. Congress told military authorities in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital on Monday, that the decision was part of efforts by the U.S. to enhance cooperation between both countries in tackling the Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria’s north-east.

The delegation, which was led by Issah Darrel, who is also part of the Judicial Committee of the U.S. Congress, met with the Chiefs of Army, Naval, Defence and Air Staff in a closed door meeting.
