The coalition of 73 NGOs strongly refutes the allegations made by the unnamed former Air Officer Commanding (AOC) of the Nigerian Air Force, as published in Vanguard on January 16, 2025.

The NGOs denounce the claims as baseless and damaging, emphasizing their commitment to addressing systemic issues like poverty, inequality, and inefficiency that contribute to terrorism.

Their statement calls on the government and military to focus on actionable solutions, such as disrupting terrorist funding networks and enhancing intelligence capabilities, rather than scapegoating NGOs.

They further highlight the risks of inflammatory accusations, warning of potential harm to humanitarian actors and the communities they serve.

The coalition advocates for collaborative engagement to tackle the root causes of insecurity and promote sustainable development.
