UK offers to assist Nigeria tackle Boko Haram
The United Kingdom has offered to further assist Nigeria in its quest to end the violent activities of the Boko Haram sect by December.
The British Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Nicholas Houghton, disclosed this to State House correspondents shortly after a closed-door meeting he had with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Houghton said he was sent by his government because the United Kingdom shares an interesting security situation with Nigeria.
He said he was in the country to see how the UK could give the necessary support to the government and the President to ensure that the country optimises whatever support it could give Nigeria.
