The Nigerian government has rejected accusations from Niger's military leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, that Nigeria collaborated with France to destabilize Niger. These claims centred around Nigeria’s alleged involvement in the recent attack on the Niger-Benin oil pipeline have been labelled “unfounded” by Nigeria’s Information Minister, Mohammed Idris. Tensions between the two nations have escalated since a coup in Niger, and Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, imposed sanctions on Niger as part of ECOWAS actions. This situation could jeopardize ongoing economic projects like the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline and the Kano-Maradi Railway, with significant regional stability and cooperation implications. Global affairs analyst Collins Nweke joins the discussion on the rising tensions and the potential impact on regional initiatives.
