According to reports, the major focus of the forces is to assist the country on the search-and-rescue operation of the abducted secondary school girls in Chibok, Borno State.
It was also gathered that besides rescuing the kidnapped school girls, the United States security forces were also on a mission to Nigeria to bring terrorist activities inflicted on innocent citizens of Nigeria in parts of the country by the dreaded Boko Haram sect to an end.
This is according to the communication of the United States President Barack Obama with President Jonathan offering to deploy US security personnel and assets to work with the Nigerian security forces.
Dr Reuben Abati, the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on media and publicity, stated this during a press briefing with the State House correspondents in Abuja yesterday.
Abati added that the president has welcomed Obama’s offer to assist Nigeria on rescuing the abducted school girls and fight terrorism in the land, which was conveyed to him by the US secretary of state Mr John Kerry in a telephone conversation on Tuesday.
The presidential spokesman said that the US Secretary of State also assured Jonathan that the US was “wholly committed to giving Nigeria all required support and assistance to save the abducted girls and bring the reign of terror unleashed on parts of the country by Boko Haram to an end”.
Abati also informed that President Jonathan also met with the chief of defence staff, service chiefs and heads of national security agencies in continuation of the national efforts to find and rescue the abducted girls.
