We Need Help To Rehabilitate Ravaged Areas By Boko Haram And Not Foreign Troops by Blackchampion(m): 7:52pm On Apr 17, 2015
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Thursday in
Abuja urged the United Nations to focus more
on helping Nigeria with the rehabilitation and
reconstruction of persons and communities
affected by terrorism in Northern Nigeria rather
than deploying an international force to the
country.
Speaking at an audience with the Special
Representatives of the UN Secretary-General
for West Africa and Central Africa,
Mohammed Ibn Chambas and Abdoulaye
Bathily, President Jonathan expressed the view
that UN intervention in Nigeria should not be
based on Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which
relates to military enforcement of peace, but
on Chapter 8.
The President said that the provisions of
Chapter 8 of the UN Charter, which recognises
the role of regional bodies such as the African
Union in working with the United Nations for
the promotion of peace and security, were
robust enough to tackle insurgency in Nigeria
and other African countries.
President Jonathan also told the UN envoys
that with the cooperation of neighbouring
countries, the Nigerian military had already
regained most of the territories seized by Boko
Haram in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno states,
and had now commenced a final push to take
the last stronghold of the insurgents in
Sambisa Forest.
In his remarks, Mr Chambas commended
President Jonathan for his statesmanship
following the outcome of the March 28
Presidential and Parliamentary elections in
Nigeria.
He conveyed UN Secretary-General’s personal
admiration for President Jonathan’s
“exemplary leadership’’ with regard to the
conduct of the general elections in Nigeria.
“We are hoping that other African countries
who are holding elections this year will learn
from the good example of Nigeria,’’ the envoy
said.
Mr Chambas told the President that the UN
team was visiting countries affected by the
Boko Haram insurgency including Chad,
Cameroon and Niger.
He reaffirmed the UN’s readiness to support
the on-going effort by Nigeria and other
countries in West and Central Africa to end
terrorist attacks against their citizens.
