US says Buhari has a lot to do to end Boko Haram

United States government has said President Muhammadu Buhari has a lot of work to do to end the ongoing Boko Haram attacks in the country.

This was disclosed at a press briefing on Wednesday by the US Department of State.

The US Department of State’s spokesman, John Kirby, said the US will do what it can to help the Federal Government adding that the exact amount of money the US government will commit to the fight against terrorism in Nigeria was not available.

“We want to do what we can to help President Buhari as he begins to form his government and set the priorities and goals for his administration. Certainly security support with respect to counter-terrorism, particularly Boko Haram. He has already taken some steps, particularly in the security sector, to try to improve their ability to go after a group like that. You know he basically hired all new chiefs of staff for his military services.

“So there’s a lot of work to do, and he was very frank yesterday that he knows he has a lot of work to do. And he does want the support and help – again, I just – I can get you the dollar figure later. But I suspect that that support will change too over time as the needs in Nigeria are better defined going forward under his leadership,” he said.
