Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammad Buhari on Media and Publicity, said the president deserves credit for tackling insecurity, especially Boko Haram and farmer/herder crisis


Shehu made this claim on Friday while presenting a paper, tagged ‘Fake news: Challenges of information management’, at the 10th anniversary of the Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA), in Katsina State.

“It is a fact that the Buhari administration is the only government of Nigeria that has put forward a workable solution to the herder-farmer challenge in all the years since independence.

“The threat to civilians and peaceful co-existence between different ethnic and religious groups from farmer-herders clashes, banditry and land disputes are of serious concern to the Buhari government.

“It is incorrect, however, to assert that the government has or is doing nothing to address the threats.



“Firstly, there are ongoing efforts for the establishment of cattle ranches to prevent or curtail open grazing, the practice that brings herders and farmers into conflict.

“This is an age-old problem facing Nigerian Governments since the colonial days. However, matters of land distribution are dealt with at the state level.

“This means willingness has to be shown by state governors to drive the process forward. The Federal government launched a plan last year to work with states to address these issues together.

“Unfortunately, this has been lacking in some states, and with regards to the long and determined battle waged against Boko Haram, Nigerians are aware of the efforts made by this Government.


“When the government came to power, the terrorist group held and administered an area the size of Belgium. Now they hold none. The terrorists are hiding out amongst remote forests and across borders.

“This makes it difficult to extinguish the final flames of the insurgency, and the government has no illusions of the potent threat still posed.



“Recent statistics have shown that over 14,500 Boko haram members have voluntarily surrendered.


“However, the progress made cannot be denied. In the face of rising crime and insecurity, the government’s new community policing initiative was launched.

“Some 10,000 new constables were recruited and the process is on for another 10,000 to be recruited from the areas they will safeguard as opposed to past practice.

“The government hopes this will bring policing closer to local communities. N13 billion was earmarked for the initial initiative. Going by the plan, every year will see an additional 10,000 policemen.

“It is an opinion that the president’s comments on IPOB, which led the banning of Twitter in Nigeria was controversial. For many, it was not.

“President Buhari has therefore been warning against social media disruptive and divisive influences, and the government’s action is not a knee-jerk reaction to Twitter’s preposterous deletion of his tweet which should have been read in full.



“The tweet was not a threat, but a statement of fact. As a terrorist organisation, IPOB poses a significant threat to the safety and security of Nigerian citizens.

“When the President said that they will be treated “in a language they understand,” he merely reiterated that their force shall be met with force. It is a basic principle of security services response world over.

“This is not a promotion of hate, but a pledge to uphold citizens’ right to freedom from harm. The government cannot be expected to capitulate to terrorists,” according to Shehu.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the University, Prof. Armaya’u Hamisu-Bichi, said it is a great pleasure to witness a decade of existence of the institution.

“It is not an easy task to develop an institution from the scratch to its present level, saying it is the best among other universities FUDMA was established together with.

He also narrated the challenges the university’s management has passed through in the past 10 years before it attained its present status.


The university, during the event, rewarded some of its staff for their commitments and dedication to duty.

Is this man called Garba Shehu still alive?

No be only credit he deserves airtime, see wat politics has turned a grown man into, with all the negative news everyday some people are just beyond redemption, see the kind of minds buhari surrounds himself wit then someone will b expecting any tin good from this government

Idiots everywhere. Buhari is so daft that he even fall for false praises and lies

Greed has taken shame and respect out of this world.

Garba is right, Buhari deserves credit for worsening State of insecurity in the country, that has defied all government actions and inactions over time.

Insecurity situations in the country has gotten to a new low where Emirates in the north are embracing peace deals with bandits for peace to reign in their respective domain's.

yeye dey smell.

This man won’t dare travel to his home town without being kidnapped by bandits even his master can’t try after his regime

What weed are they chewing in Aso Rock? I can't but laugh

Are you kidneying (kidding) me?

So to Garba Shehu Nigeria is just Aso rock? If you have nothing to say just be quiet

Nonsense!

Credit for trying to do what hes supposed to do?
Na try ooo, cos he hasn't done anything but draw the ethinical line of separation within nigeria with a pen of oower and ink made of blood.

Yes, to a considerable degree. I am not his fan but he has procured copius amounts of equipment and weaponry for our armed forces in the last few years. Our military has modernized at such a fast rate in last 3-4 years.

He has done what no administration has been able to do in the fight against insecurity, from Boko haram to IPOB.

During Jonathan's administration, Boko Haram activities became so high to an extent of Boko Haram bombing ECOWAS secretary which is right in the heart of Abuja. Haba!

IPOB/ESN/UGM started their nonsense by killing their own fellow brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and daughters all in the name of no referendum no elections. Yet elections were held and also for presidency. But, because of the love Buhari has for the country, he helped them out.

Killings in Benue were orchestrated by Ortom for selfish and political gains. He traded the blood of his own people.

On a general note, Buhari really deserves the credits he is getting. What Jonathan couldn't do, Buhari has done it.

So a failed dullard should be credited for carrying out his constitutional responsibility if he has ever done so? As if Buhari is doing Nigeria a favour. Iddiot

Who does that.

Credit kee u der

Thunder fire you there

only him that is giving that is giving buhari credit , we understand his your psy master

Garba Shehu on the beat again I will really miss this APC government.

Oga talk wetin you know. As of these moment, Nigeria is one of the most insecure countries in the world. Anything can happen to you at anytime and the worst part is that nobody send you.

Lies and deceit rule the nation.

Tackle insecurity? Must Garba Shehu talk.
When the government came to power, the terrorist group held and administered an area the size of Belgium. Now they hold none. The terrorists are hiding out amongst remote forests and across borders.

Really. They hold none. He should go to Zamfara and Niger and say this.
Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammad Buhari on Media and Publicity, said the president deserves credit for tackling insecurity, especially Boko Haram and farmer/herder crisis

Farmer/ herder crisis reduced largely due to the stance of most southern state governors.
Recent statistics have shown that over 14,500 Boko haram members have voluntarily surrendered.
They are not members, but terrorists, Mr Shehu. That is the language.
