The government of the United States of America has reaffirmed its commitment to help Nigeria and her neighbors affected by Boko Haram terrorism to counter the menace.
The US embassy said in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday that a lot needed to be done for Nigeria and her neighbors to enjoy peace.
“The United States remains committed to helping Nigeria and its neighbours counter Boko Haram’s senseless acts of terror.
“Despite much progress over the past year — due in large part to newly bolstered Nigerian and regional efforts — more work remains to ensure the people of Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria can live in peace.
“The conflict has affected the lives of communities across the Lake Chad Basin region with some 2.5 million internally displaced people and more than 170,000 Nigerian refugees forced to flee their homes,” it said.
The embassy said that the United States has been supporting Nigeria and her neighbors in many ways.
“The United States provides advisors, intelligence, training, logistical support and equipment to our African partners as they work to defeat Boko Haram.
“We also support those affected by Boko Haram’s violence through on-going humanitarian aid and victim support services.
“The United States will continue working with our partners in the region to identify new opportunities to support their efforts to stop Boko Haram’s wanton violence and restore order in the Lake Chad Basin region.”
