He revealed that diplomatic channels are proving effective toward achieving rapprochement in the tense relationship between the two nations.
The Minister strongly defended Nigeria’s counter-insurgency efforts, insisting that the Federal Government has not lost any territory to the Boko Haram terrorists. He explained that the war against insurgency in Nigeria is not conventional warfare, making it complex.
