President Muhammadu Buhari administration has been eulogized by the
United Nations (UN) for the "appreciable success" that has been recorded
in the fight against Boko Haram.
Mr. Weixiong Chen of the UN Counter Terrorism Centre
said this when he led a delegation to Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS’)
Controller-General, Dr. Peter Expend.
He hailed the government and the NPS management for being able to
contain insurgency, particularly the de-radicalisation of those in
prison custody.
He stated that violent extremism, which he described as a relatively new phenomenon in Africa, remained a global challenge and a common enemy to mankind which must be collectively fought with unwavering determination and relentless vigor.
