Senate President, David Mark, and the American Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, met on Saturday in Abuja to discuss fresh strategies being adopted by the military in the course of fighting insurgency caused by the Boko Haram activities in the country.
The meeting specifically focused on the cooperation between Nigeria and The United States on how to strengthen action against Boko Haram and bring the activities of the militants to an end.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Senate President, Mr . Paul Mumeh, explained that Mark and Entwistle, lamented the countless number of lives and property already lost on account of terrorism by the dreaded sect.
They also noted with regret, the economic and socio-political lives of the nation that had been on the low ebb, since the dreaded sect launched its destructive actions on the country.
Mark, according to the statement, specifically pointed out that “Boko Haram is not only a threat to Nigeria but poses a great danger to human existence.”
He said, “The threat is much closer than was ever imagined because the extremists have wider networks and support outside Nigeria.”
Mark noted that the nation’s security operatives were doing their utmost best to bring the situation under control but would welcome support and assistance from the international community to end the activities of the insurgents.
