At a meeting

eradicate insurgency.
Ambassador
Mamman Nuhu , Executive Secretary, Lake Chad Basin Commission and Head of
Mission, Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has told President Muhammadu
Buhari about the Boko Haram menace.
He said
emphasis must also be placed on the root causes, particularly poverty.
Nuhu thanked
countries of the Lake Chad region, who have contributed troops to the MNJTF.
At the
meeting, he also told Buhari that the recharge of the drying Lake Chad will
begin soon.
President
Buhari has been a champion of the recharge of the lake and had taken the
campaign to UN fora.
Nuhu in his
update said the recharge is one of the priorities of Lake Chad Basin Commission
aand revealed that the governments of China and Italy have been of great
support.
President
Buhari pledged more support to the MNJTF despite “the low ebb of resources
caused by COVID-19 and fallen oil prices.”
He said
Nigeria will continue to provide support for the force based in N’djamena, Chad
Republic.
President
Buhari said despite paucity of resources, security of Nigeria and that of her
neighbours must have pride of place, “so I will consult with all the relevant
officials, and we will do our best.”
