EU to help Arewa tackle Boko Haram |
2013-03-15 |
[Guardian Ng] THE European Union (EU) Thursday said it was set to deploy its expertise in engaging the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) on how to arrest the current insurgency by Boko Haram, which has led to the kidnapping and killing of foreigners in some part of the North. And who knows more about tackling Boko Haram than the EU? The EU delegation, which had earlier met the Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Ramalan Yero, also visited the ACF at its secretariat in Kaduna to deliberate on how to combat the insecurity in the North. The Ambassador and Head of EU Delegate to Nigeria, Mr. David Macrae expressed the interest of the European Union to engage efforts in bringing solution to the insurgency ravaging the North. Macrae said: "I have a special interest on how we could engage with the North, and I believe anything we want to do has to be with the executives of ACF, it has to be with you. |
