Boko Haram will be stamped out in 3 months:- Northern Governors Forum.

Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, who is also the Chairman of Northern State Governors Forum (NSGF), said, yesterday, that with the efforts against Boko Haram, insurgency by the Islamist group should end within three months.



Aliyu, speaking at the end of the NSGF and the Nigeria Embassy Washington DC, USA Investment Forum, held at Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Abuja, said,

“Boko Haram should be eliminated at the maximum of three months. That is the expectation of the northern states from the Federal Government and the international community.”

According to him, all hands ought to be on deck to end the Boko Haram insurgency.
The governor’s words:

“The current challenges facing our country demonstrates the importance of working together across geo-political zones, political party lines, and ethnic-religious affinities to defeat our common enemies – poverty and corruption, which, unfortunately, continue to undermine our efforts in taking our rightful place as the giant of Africa. We can no longer remain the sleeping giant. And the time for a paradigm shift is certainly now.
“We are under no illusions that achieving this will be easy, especially in a fast changing information age. We also believe that progress in any form comes with a price. Expectedly, as life gets better it certainly gets tougher, with emerging challenges and pressures that sometimes threaten to uproot communities and families from their established ways of life. We, however, believe we have a shared responsibility and morality as Governors of the Northern States to pursue programmes and policies that promote social justice, peace and security, which is the fundamental essence of governance.”

This is so revealing!!
