President Muhammadu Buhari has informed
the international community about Nigeria’s
progress in the fight against terrorism.
In a statement issued by Femi Adesina, the
president’s special adviser on media and
publicity, Buhari made his speech at the
ongoing sixth Tokyo International Conference
on African Development (TICAD VI) in Nairobi,
Kenya.
The president also informed that Nigeria will
diligently ensure full rehabilitation of victims
of Boko Haram and find lasting solutions to
combat threats of terrorism in the country.
The statement read in part: “The bottom
line is that these problems are our
primary responsibility. We must tackle
them and find lasting solutions for
ourselves.”
Accordingly, President Buhari told the summit
attended by Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo
Abe, some 35 African leaders and chief
executives of at least 80 major companies
from Japan, that international cooperation
with Nigeria was central in the decimation of
Boko Haram terror group.
He said: “I took over the mantle of
leadership in Nigeria when the North-
Eastern part of the country was being
ravaged by Boko Haram.

“However, soon after assumption of
office, our administration with the
support of our immediate neighbours —
Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin- and
international partners including Japan,
faced the challenge frontally.
“As I speak, the terror group has been
decimated and life is beginning to return
to normal in the affected region. The
challenge we currently face which is also
being addressed, is that of the IDPs
which number over two million to get
them re-integrated with their families and
their original homes.”
On global health issues, which is a major
focal point of the summit, President Buhari
expressed special appreciation to the
government of Japan for its contribution of
$800 million to the fight against malaria,
tuberculosis among others.
The contribution is part of the 1.3 billion
dollars made available to the Nigerian health
sector by the Global Fund.
On the gains of TICAD, the president noted
that partnerships between Africa and Japan
will help create and improve investment
opportunities in industries, agriculture,
information technology, science and
technology among others for the good of the
continent and investors from Japan.
“In view of the challenges Africa is
facing, the imperative for a viable
partnership like the Tokyo International
Conference on African Development
cannot be over emphasized.
“Today, many countries in Africa
including the oil producing ones are
wisely seeking to diversify their
economies away from mono-cropping.
“In Nigeria, our Administration has
already taken concrete steps to diversify
the economy by making agriculture not
just a development programme but a
thriving business.
“Investing in the economies of this
continent especially through Public-
Private-Partnership can contribute to
building capacity for our economies,” the
president added.
The 2-day summit with the theme
Advancing Africa’s Sustainable
Development Agenda-TICAD Partnership
for Prosperity, is being held outside of
Japan for the first time since its inception in
1993.
Among other things, TICAD aims to solve
Africa’s development problems through
quality technology in the health, industry,
agriculture and environment sectors.
A draft declaration to be adopted at end of
the summit will seek to combat the growing
threats of terrorism, conflicts and violent
radicalism through the promotion of
education and job creation.
Sadly for Buhari, some Nigerians are
demanding the return of former president,
Goodluck Jonathan following the present
state of the Nigerian economy.
The clamour for Jonathan’s return was
triggered by statement credited to Reno
Omokri, the former special assistant on new
media to Jonathan, that the former president
handed over the best Nigerian government
and the largest economy in Africa to
President Buhari.
Reno Omokri, in a series of tweets on
Wednesday, August 24, highlighted some
favourable conditions which were existed
when Jonathan handed over the reins of
power to the Buhari-led administration.
Omokri said the Nigerian economy was
booming when Jonathan handed over to
Buhari, adding that trains were working when
the present administration took over from the
Jonathan administration.
