Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, pursuant to the Answer of 14 February 2024 to Question 13244 on Nigeria: Christianity, whether he has had discussions with his counterparts in (a) Benin and (b) Cameroon on the situation in Nigeria.

Whilst I have not recently discussed rising insecurity in Nigeria with my counterparts in Benin and Cameroon, the UK Government remains committed to supporting Nigeria to address these challenges, including through our UK-Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership, and continues to engage with a range of stakeholders to address these complex issues.
