In 2013, Nigeria contributed the fifth largest number of peacekeepers to United Nations peacekeeping operations.[2][3] Nigeria has recently served a two-year term from 2014–2015 as a temporary member of the United Nations Security Council. The United Nations helped negotiate adjusting the border of Nigeria and Cameroon resulting in the Greentree Agreement in 2006.[4]
