President Muhammadu Buhari has reaffirmed his conviction that the end of the Boko Haram insurgency is in sight as Nigeria and its allies intensify the war.
Buhari stated this in Abuja on Thursday at an audience with Mousa Mahamat, Chadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and President Idris Deby’s special envoy.
Chad has promised to deploy more soldiers to beef up the multinational force against Boko Haram.
He said with higher morale and improved logistics, equipment and training among troops in the frontline against Boko Haram, a rapid end to the insurgency could be expected.
Mahamat said that President Deby appreciated Buhari’s leadership against terrorism.
He said, “We also appreciate the diligence shown in appointing a Commander for the Multinational Joint Task Force, and Deby believes that the fight will end in a few months.
“Our people rely on us to end the insurgency, because economic development is being hampered. This fight has to come to an end. My coming here is to reaffirm our full commitment.
“Beyond the number of troops earlier announced, Chad is still ready to commit more soldiers. The enemy is weakened already. Let’s stand firm, and neutralize them.”
