…As ministerial security summit kicks off in Abuja

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday expressed confidence that the activities of insurgents and other cross-border criminals will soon be drastically curtailed with the intensification of joint patrols, military operations and intelligence sharing by Nigeria and neighbouring countries as agreed at the sub-regional summit of leaders held in Niamey on October 7. Leaders of Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Benin Republic attended the meeting.He stated this while ‎welcoming the Ministers of Defence and Foreign Affairs of Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Benin Republic who are in Abuja to work with their Nigerian counterparts on a legal framework for the cross-border military operations approved by Jonathan and his counterparts in Niamey.

The president reiterated his belief that such collaboration was essential for success in the war against terrorism. “I am quite pleased with the decisions we took in Niamey to enhance and boost joint actions against Boko Haram and other cross-border criminals because we have to work together to defeat Boko Haram and other extremist groups in our sub-region.

“I believe that if we cooperate more and monitor our borders closely, the movement of criminals and terrorists as well as small arms and ammunition across our shared borders will also be drastically reduced,” he said. He told the ministers that with their collective experience and professionalism, he expected them to come up with an effective action plan for the successful implementation of the decisions reached in Niamey.
