Abuja, NIGERIA — Nigeria has returned it troops to United Nations Peacekeeping Operations after years of absence as UNISFA marks one year of Reconfiguration into a Multinational Peacekeeping Force.

In his speech during the Parade held to commemorate the one year anniversary, the Acting Head of Mission and Force Commander, Major General Benjamin Olufemi Sawyerr stated that despite initial challenges, the Force has been able to achieve its mandate by providing protection of civilians, engage with the 2-host governments as well as the host communities to encourage dialogue, support Humanitarian Agencies to assist the people and provide support to the two-country teams of Juba and Khartoum to implement the Programmatic Funding Activities.
