Buhari: Boko Haram will be gone by December

President Muhammadu Buhari has given a definite date for the end of the Boko Haram insurgency: latest by December 31, 2015.

He was speaking in Cotonou, Benin, on Saturday at the gala lunch held in his honour by the President Boni Yayi.


Buhari commended Yayi for increasing the number of Benin troops in the Multinational Joint Task Force of the Lake Chad Commission to 800.
“I assure you that we will defeat Boko Haram by the end of this year,” he said.


Buhari was on a one-day visit to Cotonou as the special guest of honour at the 55th independence anniversary of Benin.
He said when he was military head of state, Nigeria had always learnt to live peacefully with her neighbours.


He said: “I am impressed by your concern and critical approaches by increasing your contributions to the multinational task force of the Lake Chad Commission. This is a great sacrifice on the part of the Benin Republic.


“Even in my first coming into office under a different arrangement, we have learnt to live in peace with our neighbours. Within the week I was sworn in, I went to Niger, Chad. I was supposed to go to Cameroon but I was summoned by the G7 leaders to brief them about the security situation in Nigeria concerning Boko Haram which declared allegiance to ISIS which gives it international dimension.”
Buhari said last week that the troops are now better prepared to tackle the militancy.


Former President Goodluck Jonathan made a similar promise of ending Boko Haram “by June 2012″ while on a visit to South Korea.

Buhari orders civil servants to answer audit queries ‘within 24 hours’

President Muhammadu Buhari has taken the war against corruption to the civil service.

He has directed the auditor-general of the federation to ensure that all outstanding audit queries are conclusively resolved within 30 days.


Buhari has also ordered that henceforth, all audit queries must be answered within 24 hours.
The orders followed the president’s displeasure on hearing that audit
queries remained unanswered for long periods, sometimes running into years, under previous administrations.
Garba Shehu, ‎senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, confirmed the directives, adding that President Buhari was irrevocably committed  to tackling administrative and bureaucratic corruption head-on.


“The era of impunity is gone. The president is taking the war on corruption to the civil service. He is not happy that standard operating procedures and financial regulations  are no longer being observed as they should,” he said.
“President Buhari will ensure that public officials and civil servants in the service of the federal government pay a heavy price from now on for violating financial regulations  or disregarding audit queries.”


Shehu added that the president was determined to put an end to the present situation in which, rather than respond to legitimate audit queries, violators of financial regulations in the federal government resort to threatening, bribing or mounting other forms of social pressure on auditors.
“On his watch, President Buhari wants to see firm action against those who violate extant financial regulations, not the prevarications and shenanigans that went on in the past in the form of endless probes and public inquiries,” the presidential spokesman said‎.

Cameroon deports 2,000 Nigerians

Less than 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari departed Cameroon at the end of a two-day visit, the country has expelled 2,000 Nigerians.

Those affected were said to be living in the country without permit.
They were arrested on Thursday in Kousseri, northern Cameroon, and loaded into many trucks, then driven across the border into Nigeria.



A local administrator in Kousseri said the raid was part of measures aimed at improving security and controlling movements along the border region.
Most of the deportees are among the 40, 000 Nigerian refugees who fled as a result of the insurgency in the north-east.


Buhari and President Paul Biya have pledged to work together to crush the six-year violence, which has killed thousands and spread to neighbouring countries, threatening the stability of the Lake Chad region.
