Finish Off Boko Haram Insurgents, Buhari Charges Military

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that Federal Government will ensure that permanent peace and stability is returned to the troubled Northeast.
He charged the armed forces to make clinical finishing of the remnants of Boko Haram insurgents.
A statement to newsmen, yesterday signed by the Senior Special Adviser to the President, Femi Adesina, said that Buhari spoke, yesterday, at the inauguration of the National Humanitarian Coordination Committee (NHCC) in State House, Abuja.
The President said the rehabilitation of devastated communities is set to begin in earnest, he said.
“As a result of the mindless actions of the terrorists, many of our compatriots have been killed, maimed, or displaced from their communities.
“This necessitated the efforts of this Administration to develop immediate interventions and measures to alleviate the sufferings of those affected, and to ensure their proper resettlement,” he said.
Buhari noted that the need to harmonise all humanitarian activities in the region for greater effectiveness informed the establishment of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development last year (2019) with the mandate to develop humanitarian policies and provide effective coordination of National and International humanitarian interventions, among others.
He added, “Because, what we receive from NGOs sometimes does not permeate, does not go down to the people there…So, I got documents from intellectuals so that we could set up a ministry that will coordinate the activities of NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) and others, so that the resources can be properly accounted for.
“This is the reason the ministry was set up so that the minister will account to the Federal Executive Council and make sure that the resources are properly utilized.”
Buhari lauded local and international partners for their assistance over time, assuring them of continued government commitment.
