Boko Haram Degraded, Even PDP Can't Deny Improved Security In North-East -Buhari by AnotherZik: 7:07pm On Oct 21, 2017
BEVERLY HILLS, October 21, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday declared that even the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, can attest to the fact that there is a considerable improvement of security in the North-East where Boko Haram had unleashed a reign of terror.

He stated this at a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khakan Abbasi, on the margins of the ninth D-8 summit in Istanbul, Turkey, while assuring that the Nigeria-Pakistan Joint Commission will be revamped as a veritable platform to strengthen economic and trade relations between both countries.

The President, who expressed satisfaction at the level of defence and military cooperation between both countries, however agreed with the Prime Minister that there was still room to do more.

He regretted that same could not be said on the economic and trade fronts, which he said had fallen far short of what can be achieved by both countries.

”Nigeria-Pakistan cooperation is very historical. Military training has been very consistent and I am impressed by the efficiency of officers trained in Pakistan.

”But the performance of our countries in relation to trade and industrial cooperation had been very disappointing,’’ a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity quotes his principal as saying.

While noting that Nigeria had failed to use past earnings to create a commensurate level of socio-economic development, Buhari assured that his administration had identified the problems, and was ardently working to promote national development through international trade, industrial growth and the improvement of infrastructure.

He then urged Pakistan to take full advantage of the new climate of investment promoted by his administration.

”There are a lot of opportunities, for us to harness, in the manufacturing sector, agriculture, commerce, solar energy and the electricity sector,” the President said.

On the fight against terrorism, he told the Pakistani Prime Minister that Boko Haram terrorist group remains degraded.

”We have moved them out from their strongholds in the North East, we have denied them space and even their attacks on soft targets are becoming less often.

”Even the opposition [party] recognises that there is a considerable improvement of security in the North East,” he said.

In his remarks, Abbasi said both countries had similar prospects and challenges, including large population, key regional players in economy and security; the fight against terrorism, improving governance and the domestic economy.

He said Pakistan will continue to share experiences with Nigeria in the fight against terrorism towards developing effective strategies and results.

In line with this promise, the Pakistani Prime Minister presented a manual on strategy and tactics of dealing with terrorism to the President, which he said, had been put together by his country’s army.

On the Joint Commission, which next meeting falls on Pakistan to convene, the Prime Minister said his country is now ready, adding that he would personally receive the Nigerian delegation any time.

He also requested President Buhari to undertake a state visit to Pakistan at the earliest possible time.

There's a news blackout from the boko haram active areas. That's why we don't hear much. But we still hear. Didn't they storm bama recently? Bama is less than 60km to maiduguri.

APC is Boko Haram. The same Buhari that once said an attack on members of the Boko Haram is an attack on the north is the one talking today. The principal of GSS Chibok who should have been sacked for negligence of duty and conspiracy was rewarded with the post of Commissioner for Education for a job well done. Spits on APC
