US Urges FG To Take A Decisive Position Against Boko Haram

Former United State’s Assistant Secretary of States, James Rubin, on Tuesday revealed that the federal government has been playing with different approaches towards putting an end to the activities of members of the radical Islamist sect, Boko Haram.

Speaking in Port Harcourt at an Energy Environment and Investment forum organised by the Rivers State Government, he stressed the need for the Federal Government to take a concrete stand towards wiping out the radical Islamist sect and put an end to their destructive activities in the country.
According to Vanguard, Rubin, who pointed out that it was very imperative for Boko Haram to be wiped out if the country is to enjoy investors confidence said the federal government had been playing with different approaches on how to tackle the challenge, noting that it was high time it decided on what to do.
"Either the government or another one makes a decision to confront the situation. One day it is amnesty, another day it is military operation. Then you talk about assistance from outside" he said. "I say this as a friend. What you are going through is the second generation of terrorism in the world. Most countries have gone through it. Please do not wait for the next level. I say this as a friend".
