President Muhammadu Buhari says he is convinced that with recent increases in troops deployment, improvements in the supply of arms and equipment to the military as well as the ongoing effort to mobilize greater global cooperation and support, the end of Boko Haram and terrorism in Nigeria is in sight.
The president said this in a statement issued yesterday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu to convey his "sincere and heartfelt" condolences to all Nigerians who lost relatives in the latest terrorist attacks in Jos, Kano, and Zaria.
The president joined the bereaved in mourning their loved ones who were brutally murdered in the suicide bombings and attacks "that also caused horrifying injuries to others".
He, however, urged all Nigerians not to be unduly disheartened by the seeming resurgence of terrorist attacks and atrocities in the country as his administration remained fully committed to overcoming the challenges of insecurity, terrorism and insurgency as quickly as possible.
The president called on Nigerians to remain vigilant and report any suspicious persons to security agents as his government continued to give the highest possible priority to eradicating Boko Haram and ensuring greater security of lives and property across the nation.
He noted that the intensified onslaught by the military on terrorists' strongholds had already led to significant seizures of weapons and vehicles, a blockage of their sources of arms and ammunition, and a decimation of their fighting men.
He assured the citizens of the ability and readiness of Nigerian armed forces and security agencies to contain "the frantic resort by the terrorists to attacks on soft targets such as crowds and places of worship".
