Nigeria Endorses the Proliferation Security Initiative
The Federal Republic of Nigeria has conveyed to the United States of America its endorsement of the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) following sustained engagement between the two states. The United States welcomes Nigeria’s endorsement and participation in the Initiative and looks forward to working with the Government of Nigeria to advance the counterproliferation goals of the PSI and its Statement of Interdiction Principles. Nigeria is the 116th country to endorse the PSI.
Countries that endorse the PSI share a commitment to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their delivery systems, and related materials to state and non-state actors of concern. Expanding PSI’s participation worldwide is critical to America’s safety as the Initiative improves individual and collective efforts to develop the capabilities needed to interdict WMD-related transfers that threaten the security of the United States. PSI’s continued growth through consistent and determined engagement highlights America’s leadership on the world stage. PSI’s core objective – to prevent the transfer of WMD – reduces the likelihood these weapons will be used, ensuring continued American prosperity.
