“In the Lake Chad Basin region, the UN and Developmental Partners must continue to strengthen support towards the implementations of the regional strategy for stabilization…”
The Federal Government has called on the United Nations and development partners to strengthen support towards the implementation of a regional strategy for stabilization, recovery, and resilience of areas affected by terrorism in the Lake Chad Basin.
The National Coordinator, National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Yaminu Musa, made the call at the ongoing 3rd UN Counter-Terrorism Week in New York.
The CT Week is a biennial gathering of Member States and international counter-terrorism partners with the theme, ‘‘Addressing Terrorism through Reinvigorated Multilateral and Institutional Cooperation.”
This is contained in a statement by the Director of Strategic Communication, NCTC, Ozoya Imohimi, on Friday in Abuja.
According to the national coordinator, the reintegration of the vast number of repentant and low-risk individuals associated with Boko Haram and ISWAP poses a significant new challenge for the government of Nigeria.
He said there was a need for more international support to address the menace.
Mr Musa, a retired major general, said the Nigerian government had in the last six years since the adoption of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2349, undertaken several responses to address the impact of Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin.
He said the efforts had guided the 2022 Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act, the 2019 National Security Strategy, the 2017 National Action Plan for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism, as well as the 2016 National Counter Terrorism Strategy.
He expressed gratitude for the tremendous support from the UN and its entities for the rehabilitation efforts in Nigeria and emphasized the need for more global awareness and support to address the inherent challenges and risks in reintegrating all categories of returning terrorists especially those moving around sub-Saharan Africa.
“In the Lake Chad Basin region, the UN and Developmental Partners must continue to strengthen support towards the implementations of the regional strategy for stabilization, recovery, and resilience of Boko Haram affected areas,” he said. (NAN)
