Read Press report from the Presidency...
President Muhammadu Buhari said Monday in Abuja that the Federal
Government has begun mobilizing the military and task forces to stop the
sabotage of oil facilities and kidnapping of citizens for ransom in the coastal
areas of the country.
Speaking at a meeting with a delegation from the United States Institute of
Peace, President Buhari also said that his administration is giving the highest
priority to the resettlement of displaced persons and rehabilitation of
infrastructure in the Northeast. The President assured the delegation that his
administration's ongoing war against corruption will be fought within the ambit
of the law and that mechanisms have been put in place to ensure respect for
human rights in the fight against terrorism. “We attach great importance to
human rights. If there are breaches, they will be investigated and dealt with,”
he said.
President Buhari welcomed the growing international support, especially
from the United States and Europe, for Nigeria's efforts to end the Boko Haram
insurgency. The President also expressed happiness with the support of
Nigerians for the cardinal programmes of his government, the security of the
country, the war against corruption and revival of the economy, which, he said,
will continue to be vigorously pursued.
Ms. Nancy Lindborg, who led the Institute's delegation, applauded the
progress being made by the Buhari Administration in ensuring greater security
in Nigeria. She promised the continued assistance of the Institute for the
reconstruction and development work going on in the country.
