President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday said that Nigeria’s Armed Forces and security agencies will sustain and intensify ongoing operations against insurgents in the northeast to achieve significantly improved security ahead of the 2015 general elections.
Speaking at an audience with the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Uriel Palti, President Jonathan said that Nigeria will also continue to work with neighbouring countries for the effective implementation of the regional security arrangements which were recently concluded to enhance multilateral cooperation against extremism, terrorism, insurgency and other cross-border crimes.
According to a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Dr. Reuben Abati, President Jonathan told the Israeli Ambassador that the Federal Government was actively and progressively enhancing the ability of Nigeria’s Armed Forces and security agencies to deal decisively with terrorists and insurgents.
The positive effects of steps taken by his administration in that regard, he said, will become increasingly apparent very soon.
The Israeli ambassador conveyed the condolences of the country’s Prime Minister, Mr. Benjamin Netenyahu, to President Jonathan and the people of Nigeria on the loss of lives in recent terrorist attacks.
He thanked President Jonathan for his recent visits to Israel.
