The team includes Minister of Foreign Affairs Amb. Yusuf Tuggar, Minister of Defence Abubakar Badaru, Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and Minister of Humanitarian Affairs Bernard Doro.

Senior security officials such as Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency Amb. Mohammed Mohammed, and Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun are also part of the delegation.

Ms Idayat Hassan from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and Mr Paul Alabi of the Nigerian Embassy in the U.S. will serve as the delegation’s secretariat.
