Nigeria’s president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
yesterday said that the insurgency problem in the country is diverting
people’s attention from the high points of his administration.
Jonathan also reiterated his administration’s eagerness to solve the terrorism problem.
He said: “The unfortunate Boko Haram excesses are taking attention away from our numerous achievements.
“Everybody wants security, everybody wants to be safe and to be able to move freely. I am therefore assuring you that we will bring the situation to a reasonable degree and will eventually end it very soon.
“We have worked very hard to improve agriculture and ended decades of fertilizer scam. We want Nigerian farmers to crop three times a year.
“We are thinking of different options to fully diversify our economy due to the fall in the global price of oil and Bauchi is one of the states we will tap into its solid mineral potentials.”
The Boko Haram insurgency has claimed over 5000 Nigerian lives since 2009.
