The U.S. Ambassador to
the United Nations,
Samantha Power, will be
in Nigeria between
Thursday and Friday to
highlight the growing
threat Boko Haram poses
to the country.
This is contained in a
statement by the
Information Unit, U.S.
Embassy in Abuja and
made available to the
News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Abuja.
It stated that Power had
earlier visited Cameroon
and Chad between April
16 and 20 to underscore
the rising danger the
insurgence poses to the
Lake Chad Basin region.
“Boko Haram is one of
the deadliest terrorist
groups in the world.
“ It poses an acute threat
to civilians across the
Lake Chad Basin, and the
group’s increasing
lethality and relationship
with the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant are
cause for alarm,” it
stated.
It noted with sadness the
second anniversary of the
kidnapping of the Chibok
Girls.
The statement stressed
the the need to work
with partners in the
region to develop a
comprehensive counter-
Boko Haram effort.
It stated that this
included a more
coordinated military
campaign, improved
humanitarian access and
response, a well-
resourced stabilization
and governance strategy.
It stated that Power
would engage with the
Nigerian leadership and
civil society in Abuja
before traveling to the
northeast to visit a
settlement camp for
civilians displaced by
Boko Haram’s violence.
Power, according to the
statement, will host a
town-hall meeting with
students and participate
in a ‘Peace Through
Sports’ event with young
Nigerians.
