Buhari meets other presidents over Boko Haram

Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari is presently meeting with five heads of state and governments of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja to adopt a report on the Boko Haram insurgency.

The meeting is a follow up to a similar meeting held in N’djamena, the Chadian capital, last month to review the security situation in the region and intensify efforts to curb insurgency.

The meeting involves his Chadian counterpart President Idris Deby Itno, President Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger Republic, and Prime Minister of Cameroon, Philemon Yang, who is representing President Paul Biya.

In his remark during the opening ceremony, Buhari who is the chairman of the LCBC, said the adoption of the report of the committee would bring a dynamism into the fight against the insurgents.

Insisting that the Boko Haram war must be won, he said the time has come Boko Haram insurgency to be brought to a definite end.

At the end of the meeting today, a communiqué would be issued on the new strategy to be adopted in the fight against Boko Haram.

Details soon.
