Multinational Taskforce To Patrol Gulf Of Guinea – President Buhari
Channels Television. Updated April 28, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari said on Thursday in Abuja that
a multinational taskforce will soon be established to patrol the waters
of the Gulf of Guinea.
Speaking at an audience with the French Minister of Defence, Mr.
Jean-Yves Le Drian, President Buhari said that patrols by the
multinational taskforce will augment and boost ongoing efforts to
improve security in the Gulf, and curb crude oil theft and piracy.
President Buhari and Mr. Le Drian also discussed ongoing French
support for the Federal Government’s efforts to end the Boko Haram
insurgency.
The President expressed his government’s appreciation of the
assistance and support of France and other G7 countries, which he said,
has helped Nigeria achieve significant successes against Boko Haram.
“When we got into office in May, last year, Boko Haram was
effectively controlling at least 14 local government areas. But now, it
is no longer so, and they have resorted to attacking soft targets with
Improvised Explosive Devices.
“We are determined to secure all of our territory effectively. We are
doing our best and our troops are now operating in the Sambisa Forest,”
President Buhari told the French Defence Minister.
The Minister assured President Buhari that France will continue to
assist Nigeria to overcome Boko Haram, saying that all terrorists must
be seen as common enemies of the free world.
