President Muhammadu Buhari said Monday in Abu Dhabi that Nigeria has made very significant progress towards ending the Boko Haram insurgency since his assumption of office on May 29 last year.
Speaking at a meeting with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon, on the sidelines of the World Future Energy Summit, President Buhari said in collaboration with the Multinational Joint Task Force, the Nigerian Armed Forces have driven the terrorist group from Nigerian territory into “fall-back positions”.
“They are currently not holding any territory today as we speak, ” the President told Mr. Ban Ki Moon.
President Buhari also told the United Nations Secretary-General that Nigeria will persistently pursue global action to reverse the drying up of Lake Chad and save the lives of those who depend on it for survival.
“With all due respect to our neighbours, Nigeria has been worst hit by the drying up of the Lake Chad and we are hoping that the global community will support the process of halting the drying up of the lake,” President Buhari said.
Mr. Ban Ki Moon commended the President for his courage in fighting terrorism and corruption.
The Secretary-General said Nigeria has made amazing progress against terrorism since President Buhari assumed office, while the President’s war against corruption has boosted global confidence in the Nigerian economy.
He urged President Buhari to integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals into Nigeria’s economic and environmental vision

Buhari sef.. Funny man

Good news, but their sporadic attacks needs to be checked and also arrest / prosecute their sponsors, also the villagers in those interiors where this people stay needs to be protected. But why is it that the president always prefer to pass important information to us mostly through foreign media

Oga be precise o

I believe before this year runs out, boko haram will be history in Nigeria. The previous administration did little or nothing to decimate boko haram when it was still a ragtag group, instead everybody was busy playing politics with human lives. Accusing fingers were pointing at all the unnecessary things in this world, from the northerners want to sabotage GEJ government to buhari/APC are the sole sponsors of boko haram. And the very unfortunate thing was our ex-president believed all the hogwashes instead of putting his feet on the ground to curtail the excesses of the mauraders...

True. Also, they were too busy looting all the funds disbursed to fight Boko Haram. What we are seeing now is proof, as some of us argued, that if the sincere Presidential will is present and our army are well-equipped then Boko Haram will be defeated in the end. What may remain may be sporadic attacks that better intelligence gathering and use can curtail seriously.

Wat weapons are you using to fight and drive dem back??
