Determined to curtail Boko Haram insurgency, President Muhammdu Buhari will on Monday begin a state visit to France to hold talks with President Francois Hollande. He will also explore opportunities of more collaboration with Niger, Chad and Cameroon, which are assisting the nation in the war against insurgency. The President was quoted as saying “it is more cost effective politically and economically to be at peace with your neighbours. This is something I learnt from the army.” According to a pre-visit review by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the visit was in response to President Hollande’s invitation to President Buhari. He said Hollande had extended olive branch to Buhari shortly after his election in March. The agenda of the three-day bilateral talks will include: 1. Security in the Nigeria and the Lake Chad basin area. 2. Boko Haram insurgency 3. Review of ‘Wish List’ 4. To prevail on President Hollande and allies in G7 to keep their promise to assist Nigeria 5. Access to military hardware, reconstruction of damaged infrastructure 6. Economy and the war against corruption He said: “One, he (Hollande) offered the friendship and partnership of France in President Buhari’s plan to rid Nigeria of terrorism and rebuild the country economically. “His pronouncement that relations between our two countries are “strategic” has equally excited the Nigerian foreign policy establishment. It points to Nigeria’s opportunity. “The second thing President Hollande said to our then President-elect was, “come to France and let us host to you to a bilateral discussion.” From here, Hollande, Germany’s Angela Merkel, Britain’s David Cameron and Obama encouraged President Buhari to, on getting into office put together a “wish list” of his government and country and table it at the “G7” meeting in Germany early in June, with a promise to come to the aid of our country. Shehu gave elaborate details on why the visit was important to the war against Boko Haram insurgency. He added: “Lastly and more importantly is the issue of security in the country and the Lake Chad basin area. “Since his assumption of office, President Buhari has squared up to the threat of Boko Haram terrorism with a single-minded determination. Without waiting for the envisaged foreign support and assistance, Boko Haram is near resolution. “If they were correctly reported in their press conference a few days ago, the military has indeed declared victory in the war. But the world still needs to come together to help this country manage its fallout. “In this regard, President Hollande needs to make his friends and allies in the G7 to sharpen their response and keep their promise of assistance for which President Buhari was requested to present a wish list. “So far, there is evidence of that support in the areas of training and the sharing of intelligence. But beyond these, it is hard to say that we are getting commensurate responses to the high hopes that we harboured in dealing with the war and reconstruction. “Such promises, especially as regards access to military hardware and the reconstruction of damaged infrastructure, donated or paid for should be pursued so that the victory over terror in our region is not a temporary one but one that will usher in permanent peace, tranquility and wealth for our beleaguered populations and the part of the continent they occupy.” On the economy, Shehu said the meeting will also focus on it since France investment in Nigeria is the largest in Africa. He said: “It is equally fundamental that France’s investment on the African continent is the largest in Nigeria. And it is still growing. French interests here are strongly represented by such companies as Total, ELF, LaFarge, Societe- Generale, SCOA and so on. “The best outcome for Nigeria during this visit should reflect favourably on key priorities of the Buhari administration, which are security, economy and the war against corruption. “An added one would be the strengthening of cultural cooperation. That should hopefully be beneficial to both states. “We as a country are in the midst of our French- speaking siblings in Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin bordering this country to the North, East and West. The attitude of our authorities to this ground reality has not been very good so far.” Cc: lalasticlala thenationonlineng.net/boko-haram-buhari-takes-battle-to-france-meets-hollande-on-monday-for-talks/ |

President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his silence on his appointments, which many Nigerians have described as “lopsided”. Buhari in an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday said the Constitution allowed him full control over the choice of his closest officials. The president assured that he was not ignoring some section of his society in his appointments, explaining that those he appointed were some of his most trusted associates. Responding to the interviewer’s question on the controversy generated by the appointments, Buhari said “This is the nature of Nigerian politics”. “If they will do justice to me, as an elected Nigerian president, let them look at the Constitution a Nigerian president works with, there are people who will closely work with me that don’t need to be taken to the Senate. “If I select people whom I know quite well in my political party, whom we came all the way right from the APP, CPC and APC, and have remained together in good or bad situation, the people I have confidence in and I can trust them with any post, will that amount to anything wrong? “I have been with them throughout our trying times, what then is the reward of such dedication and suffering? “They did not defect because of positions, they did not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our trying moments. “What is wrong if I make you the secretary (of the federal government) because I have confidence that things will go normal?” On the abducted Chibok girls missing since April 2014, Buhari said the Boko Haram sect had “have scattered them, and are being guarded at dispersed locations. “Most of the girls are Christians and were forced to embrace Islam. And the sect’s cruel leaders have married some of the girls, obviously against their wish. Others have been left to practice their religion but their condition could hardly be ascertained. “Both ground and air security personnel in the Sambisa forest could spot where the girls are, but since the insurgents have also kidnapped housewives and other women, no one could say whether they mixed them or how they dispersed them.” .

dailypost.ng/2015/09/07/teenage-boy-burnt-to-death-in-lekki/ A 16-year-old teenager, identified as Timehin Jinadu, was Monday morning, reportedly burnt to death when a duplex of four bedrooms at the Lekki area of Lagos, caught fire. P.M News reports that the fire started at about 2am on Monday in a duplex at 35C, Ajiran Road, Agungi area of Lekki. The boy’s family was said to be asleep when the fire began. Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe said the fire service station was called around 2am and that it responded promptly to the call and succeeded in rescuing three people from the duplex of four bedrooms. “The body of a 16-year old Timehin was discovered at the bathroom roasted. It might be that the boy ran to the bathroom to escape from the fire but had nowhere to go to after that,” Fadipe confirmed. Fadipe divulged that the fire was caused by power surge after light was restored in the night to the area. The Director also added that the father of the boy and two other children inhaled smoke which made them unconscious and had to be rushed to the hospital. Cc: lalasticlala
