Preamble
The Federal Republic of Nigeria and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland share deep historical ties, enduring good relations, strong people-to-people links, economic interests, mutual commitment to Commonwealth values, and shared interests across regional and international peace and security.
On 4 November 2024, His Excellency Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the Right Honourable David Lammy MP, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom (UK), agreed to elevate the bilateral relationship between the 2 countries to a Strategic Partnership.
The Nigeria-UK Strategic Partnership will provide a comprehensive framework for jointly achieving our shared objectives and further strengthening our bilateral relationship. It will build on and strengthen our existing bilateral dialogues across areas of mutual interest and benefit, including i) economic, trade and investment opportunities; ii) security and defence issues; and iii) migration, justice and home affairs. The Nigeria-UK Strategic Partnership also establishes a new bilateral dialogue focused on foreign policy and international issues, including exploring reforms of multilateral institutions and the global financial architecture. It confirms a commitment between the 2 governments to hold a biennial meeting, known as the Nigeria-UK Bi-National Commission, to enable high-level inter-governmental engagement across the full range of the Nigeria-UK Strategic Partnership.

The UK-Nigeria Strategic Partnership will include 6 pillars
Pillar 1: Growth and jobs, through implementation of our Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership (ETIP) and economic programmes that deliver reciprocal growth to Nigeria and the UK, including by facilitating value addition and skills acquisition where appropriate, as well as cooperation on climate change and inclusive and sustainable green growth.
Pillar 2: Enhanced national security cooperation, though our Security and Defence Partnership (SDP), with emphasis on coordinated approaches across civilian government, military, and civil society that take into account good governance, human rights and community engagement, alongside wider defence cooperation. Our cooperation will address the broad spectrum of threats faced, including terrorism, cyber threats, and maritime issues.
