The United Kingdom (UK) says it is supporting Nigeria in the ongoing war against the Boko Haram insurgents.

UK Minister for International Development, Nick Hurd, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that UK had a very long cordial relationship with Nigeria.

“The very long partnership between UK and Nigeria matters a great deal to us; even my Prime Minister has made it very clear that we stand shoulder to shoulder with Nigeria in the battle against Boko Haram.

“We understand how many thousands and millions of peoples’ lives have been devastated by the atrocities in the North East.

“We are determined to help our own friend and partner to defeat that barbaric group,’’ he said.

Hurd said at the moment, the UK’s support took the form of a big commitment to training and capacity building in the military.

He said that his country was pleased with the successes so far recorded by the military against Boko Haram insurgents recently.

On the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls, Hurd said UK was always supportive of the determination to ensure the safe return of the girls but challenged Nigeria to lead the girls’ rescue.

“My Prime Minister, the British Government and the British people are fully supportive of the determination to bring the girls home.

“They have empathy with that but this (rescue) needs to be led by the Nigerian government, there has to be a Nigerian solution to this.
“I made it clear to the Vice-President that we will help but we are going to follow a Nigerian lead,’’ he said.

On a report that the UK knew the whereabouts of the girls, Hurd said: “My information is constrained by the fact that I’m International Development Minister. “I’m not into greater deal into the military intelligence cooperation. I don’t have a full answer to that question.’’

On the humanitarian assistance, the envoy said that UK was increasing its commitment with another 33 million pounds.

He said the increased fund was informed by the assessment that was carried out about the needs in the north eastern part of the country which were around nutrition, food and protection.

He said UK was interested about the stability and real development of the region and called on the international community to be more effective in its response.

Dude you are very stupid if you believe this story. The "false news" you speak of came DIRECTLY from a UK news media while the counteract came from a Nigeria media.

The difference between the two...you can't Buy UK media to publish whatever news you wish, while in Nigeria You can. Best belief, no doubt in my mind, this Article was PAID by APC. No doubt in my mind. I highly HIGHLY doubt any UK official, including the one they claim they quoted, made any xomment.

Actually the so called UK news was completely false. If you had taken time to read it, you'll know for yourself. There were so many claims in the article by the British journalist that were not true, I'll recommend you Google and read it. The counter article by the Nigerian ministry of information was much more factual and accurate.

You're so quick to insult another person but you're actually the silly person because instead of watching real news, you spend all your life on social media spreading and consuming hate.

This news was on channels TV news yesterday where the UK minister was pictured saying what vanguard and others reported. The same yesterday, the white house spokes man at a news conference in Washington DC was shown on channels expressing support for the govts effort yet here you're insulting someone who is actually more up to date than you?

Who cursed you with so much negativity? So that report in the UK tabloid that even painted this govt as the spender of $2.1B arms money sounds true to u?

You need help and deliverance.

He can't help himself

Dude the claim of the article is that Buhari is using UK aid to fight his political enemies rather than BH. We know this is a FACT as we see buhari harrashing oppositional policies and accusing them of corruption yet NOT ONE has gotten a conviction. Use your fucking sense. In addition, "fulani herdsmen" are being reported to be doing things BH does. In addition, the borno governor have came out and declared that the media is hiding the truth about his state and that BH control half of the state unlike what Buhari and his government says.

So yeah, everything else in that article does not matter. The only thing that matters is your buhari scamming western nations and directly putting the nation in high debt. By the time that dullard is done with y'all even Zimbabwe will look like a paradise. I promise you that. Quote me on this

And yet the so called "Channels TV reporting" is nowhere online.

In addition dumbass I live in USA...next time you want to fucking lie, make up a lie about a country I'm not currently on and watch their news on daily basis.


And yes I believe the UK report over anything from APC. APC has lied more than any party known to men. Why should I dismiss an unbiased report over a biased report told by a group KNOWN to lie.
