Cameron announced that more Short Term Training Teams will be deployed to the region alongside increased permanent military personnel based in the country.
The increased support will aid Nigerian forces in combating Boko Haram and contribute more staff to the Multi National Joint Taskforce Headquarters in Chad.
Secretary of State for Defence Michael Fallon said: “This increase in support for Nigeria will help a valued partner to improve security and combat Boko Haram.
“Alongside recent decisions to deploy additional troops to Iraq and to commit an additional 500 to NATO’s Very High Readiness Task Force in Europe, this underlines our global commitment to building security.”
