Abdussamad Dasuki, a member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives for Tambuwal/Kebbe (Sokoto State), urges President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restore and strengthen relations with the Niger Republic. Dasuki says improved diplomatic and security cooperation with Niger would help address insecurity affecting Nigeria’s North-West region, particularly along the border. Speaking as a representative of the African Democratic Congress and in his capacity as Deputy Minority Leader, he links Nigeria–Niger ties to regional stability and argues that stronger coordination could improve security outcomes in border communities. Both outlets report the same core message: Dasuki calls for renewed engagement with Niger as a practical step toward tackling insecurity in Nigeria’s North-West. The reports present his intervention as an appeal for government action to strengthen cross-border cooperation, without detailing specific measures, timelines, or changes to existing policies.
