Boko Haram: Nigeria, Chad must make more sacrifices – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari said on Thursday in Abuja that Nigeria and Chad must be prepared to make more sacrifices to end the scourge of Boko Haram since they were at the “very heart of the insurgency”.
“We will sustain our effort, and the insurgents will be defeated soon,” President Buhari vowed.
Speaking at an audience with Mr Mousa Faki Mahamat, Chadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Special Envoy of President Idris Deby of Chad, President Buhari said that with higher morale among troops in the frontline against Boko Haram and their improved logistics, equipment and training, a rapid end to the insurgency could be expected.
A statement by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said Buhari reaffirmed his conviction that the end of the Boko Haram insurgency was in sight, given the added vigour with which the war against the terrorist sect was being prosecuted by Nigeria and her allies.
The Special Envoy of the Chadian President said that President Deby appreciated the leadership being provided by President Buhari in the war against terrorism, according to the statement.
“We also appreciate the diligence shown in appointing a commander for the Multinational Joint Task Force, and President Deby believes that the fight will end in a few months.
“Our people rely on us to end the insurgency, because economic development is being hampered. This fight has to come to an end. My coming here is to reaffirm our full commitment. Beyond the number of troops earlier announced, Chad is still ready to commit more soldiers.
“The enemy is weakened already. Let’s stand firm, and neutralize them,” he said. – Daily Times.
