President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday held a closed-door meeting with the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki(retd.).It was learnt that the meeting, which held at the Defence House, Abuja, was aimed at assessing the security situation in the country against the backdrop of renewed attacks by the Boko Haram sect.

Investigations also revealed that the meeting centred on ways of carrying out the President’s plan on the relocation of the military central command to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.Buhari, had in his inaugural speech said, “The command centre will be relocated to Maiduguri and remain until Boko Haram is completely subdued. But we cannot claim to have defeated Boko Haram without rescuing the Chibok girls and all other innocent persons held hostage by insurgents.”After the meeting with the President on Monday, Dasuki, however, declined comments when approached by reporters.

The President’s media office, however, announced that Buhari would on Wednesday and Thursday visit Niger and Chad in furtherance of his overall desire to subdue the sect.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Malam Garba Shehu, said the President’s visit would centre on ways to end the Boko Haram menace.

This will be the President’s first official visit outside the country since assuming office.

According to Shehu, the two-day trip will focus on “matters of security”, because Nigeria needs the cooperation of its neighbours to succeed in its campaign against the terrorist sect, whose activities have so far claimed an estimated 15,000 lives since 2009.

He said, “Buhari will go the Niger Republic on Wednesday and will spend a night there before proceeding to Chad the next day (Thursday).”

There are indications that the President will hold a meeting with the Service Chiefs within the next few days.

The service chiefs, who were appointed on January 16, 2014, are the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh; the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Kenneth Minimah; the Naval Chief, Vice Admiral Jibrin Usman , and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu.

Nigeria must be great. say no to terrorism. say no to tribalism. say no to insane opposition against the goodwill of the government. but oppose and criticize a corrupt government.

embrace Change, embrace positive transformation.

it's not about the party, it's about the person.

it's high time we stopped acting childish, if the government fails to deliver, it's still the masses that'll suffer it, so let's all pray for the success of the present administration.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is indeed a hero.

Buhari is also someone we can trust.

sai Buhari.

said GEJ

long live Nigeria.

#METBFN , it begins with you



it feels normal being the first to comment. nothing special Bout it.

This looks like the picture of a person arriving not of someone jetting out. Has he arrived Niger already, I though it was for Wednesday. Anyways, Nigeria's blood dey hot, you better start talking or addressing them even if it is to say hello or good morning. We no gbadun this one wey Shehu Garba na him dey talk. This silence is becoming deafening. APC enu oshe o(mouth no got do am o), you better hit the ground running.

Mr President is working. Keep it up while your haters keep hating. Boko haram members are now shivering that baba buhari may crush them between jiffy- a reason for the attacks and multiple bomb blasts of recent- in order to still show that they are relevant. Baba, please no mercy and amnesty for those God-forsaken blood sucking demon. In fact, that yeye governor who demanded for amnesty for terrorists should be questioned and impeached by the state house of assembly for gross misconduct because that talk na real 'misconduct' o....

So he is going to seek for external coorperation? The same Buhari that criticised Jonathan for doing same? What a clownish old corrupt general.

“It’s a big disgrace for Nigeria. It is now Cameroon and Chad fighting the insurgency more than Nigeria. We will build the capacity and Nigeria should be able to secure its territorial integrity,”

Gen Muhammadu Buhari, Feb 07, 2015

So comical to see the brainless old man seeking external assistence when he and his northern oligarchy initiated the same terror group. Buhari boys don go haywire

OLODO WHERE DID HE CRITICIZE HIM

Same assistance he condemned GEJ of seeking?

No greater form of hypocrisy! !!!!!!

I thought an attack on Bokoharam is an attack on the north..... Why does Buhari want to attack the north with the help of outsiders?...... Many Nigerians are morons!!!!, No one ever ask questions.

Politics is crazy. If memory serves me right. Jonathan involving our neighbours was wildly criticised by many APC supporters including myself. Some of us felt the giant of Africa is too big and so do not require the assistance of our neighbours to weed out the rascals called Bokoharam. But for the general to tow same line now. I need to apologise to GEJ. Its obvious there are things people up there know we have no clue about. Whatever is done to weed out those vampires is welcome.

My conscience wont allow me read this and not apologise to GEJ and his security team, i do appologise. I judged you wrong...

He's going to meet his Boko Haram brothers.

This brainless old man is really clueless. Is he not same person who criticised Jonathan's collaboration with Chad and Niger in fighting the insurgents?
#BabaOneChance, on your way back make sure you bring back our Chibok girls. Nonsense

That is actually presidential. God bless PMB. Haters can go & die

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Malam Garba Shehu, said the President’s visit would centre on ways to end the Boko Haram menace .

So buhari that ended world war within three days is going about soliciting for ideas on how to end the insurgency and his goon on nairaland kept deceiving Nigerians.

Hope i'm not dreaming

Finally the dura man goes to his political recruits to curtail their activities after successfully making the country ungovernable for his opponent.

imagine?You of all people?

I think u should repent.Oh u wanna say u didn't know he was clownish,old and corrupt when u turned nairaland upside down supporting him?

Selfish interest does more harm than good.

Just as u didn't get what u wanted from the apc and decamped,so shall all the bad eggs in it leave.

Long live GMB!

Yeye dey smell!
