Community leaders must cooperate with leaders to end the Boko Haram insurgency, President Muhammadu Buhari said on Wednesday.
Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has sought the cooperation of community leaders to end the Boko Haram insurgency in the northeast.
The President wondered why the Boko Haram crisis had lasted for so long saying the counter insurgency battle cannot be won without good intelligence from the civil population from the local communities. “I assure you that improvement in security will be pursued vigorously. The military will work harder and strategise with tactics to deal with the insurgents. This is however not possible without good intelligence and cooperation with local community leaders.
Speaking on the state of the economy, President Buhari said his government had recoded successes and saved millions of dollars through agriculture which has enhanced livelihood of farmers, improved food security, adding that his government was also working to defeat smuggling activities in the borders.
”We also appreciate Mr. President for associating with us at this very trying moment. I am so surprised that we are forgetting the past. Some are trying to compare the security situation in Borno state prior to 2015 and the current situation. Hitherto, all the roads to Maiduguri were closed, inaccessible with the exception of Kano /Maiduguri road. There were sporadic bombings and killings even within the metropolitan city. Close to about 20 local government areas were displaced.
