US Announce Cancellation of Training Nigerian Army

United States has announced the cancellation of the training of a battalion of the Nigerian Army, at the request of the Federal Government. It said the first two phases of the training were conducted between April and August, 2014, noting that it had provided untrained civilian personnel with basic soldiering skills.
A statement from the Information Office of US Embassy in Abuja, regretted the premature termination of the exercise program, which it said would have trained Nigerian soldiers to build their capacity to counter Boko Haram.
