    NIGERIA – A U.S. Air Force C-17 delivers equipment to the Nigerian Air Force in September 2026. The equipment delivery is part of a foreign military sales agreement between the U.S. and Nigerian militaries and furthers the strategic partnership between the two nations in order to enhance Nigerian-led efforts to counter terrorism in the region. U.S. military support to the Armed Forces of Nigeria is by its invitation and rooted in respect for Nigerian sovereignty. (Courtesy photo)
