Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that the Boko Haram terrorist group is still active and preying on soft targets, despite being degraded by defense forces.
Buhari, made the assertion, at the third edition of the Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit convened by President Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey on Saturday.
He called on the Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit to provide concrete support to help defeat terrorism and insurgency on the African continent.
‘‘Another area this Partnership must focus on, is the global challenge of climate change which is impacting us in Nigeria, Turkey, across Africa, and indeed across the world, he said.
‘‘It has become a catalyst for conflict through food insecurity, drying up of lakes; loss of livelihood and youth migration, among others.
‘‘The trend is the same around the world where communities are overwhelmed by forest fires, rising sea levels, flood, drought, and desertification,” Buhari added.
