WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Federal Government of Nigeria has emphasized that the country is not sabotaging Niger Republic’s economic pipelines and agriculture, as alleged by its military leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani. In a statement on Thursday, Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, strongly rejected the allegations made in a viral video by the military leader of Niger Republic, who claimed collusion between Nigeria and France to destabilize the Niger Republic. Idris described the allegations as baseless and non-existent. “The accusation that Nigeria seeks to sabotage Niger’s pipelines and agriculture is both unfounded and counterproductive. “Nigeria has consistently supported Niger’s economic development through joint energy and infrastructure projects, such as the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline and the Kano-Maradi Railway Project. It is illogical to suggest that Nigeria would undermine initiatives it has actively promoted,” he stated. “Furthermore, no part of Nigeria has been ceded to any foreign power for subversive operations in Niger Republic. “We reiterate our full support for senior Nigerian government officials for their untiring commitment to fostering peace and security between the government and people of Nigeria and Niger, and for their efforts toward stronger cooperation in the ECOWAS region,” he added.
