President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said the security situation in Northern Nigeria has increased significantly following supports gotten from G-7 members.

He said this when he received the Letter of Credence of the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, William Stuart Symington, at the State House, Abuja according to a statement by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity.

He said Nigeria has received military training and supply of hardwares after the G-7 meeting in 2015.

He said, “When I was invited to the G-7 meeting after my inauguration on May 29, 2015, I thought I was going to be an observer at the meeting, but without prompting, I was asked to brief the leaders on the security situation in Nigeria, and I did.

“Since then, we have received support in training and military hardware, and I hope we have not disappointed.”
