“Terrorism is global and has no boundary. For the world to be saved, every corner of the world must be saved.

“We can see from the example of the US, where Taliban takes over Afghanistan, a pointer to how difficult it is to fight terrorism driven by ideology.
“The western world should look into helping developing nations like Nigeria in developing their infrastructure.
“This will help to create employment and quality livelihood that will make it difficult for an ideological group like Boko Haram to recruit the youths.”
The minister called for the support of the US and other countries in Nigeria’s fight against the Boko Haram insurgency, adding that global support would go a long way in stamping out the menace.
