Mr Antony Blinken, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, on Friday
described Nigeria as the leader of other countries in the fight against
terrorism.
Blinken, who hailed Nigeria’s anti-terrorism stance, spoke to State
House Correspondents after a visit to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in
Abuja on Friday.
The U.S. Deputy Secretary of State is in Nigeria ahead of Saturday’s
Security Summit to be hosted by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Now here we have this very important security summit that Nigeria is
hosting, with countries around the world attending.
“This is an evidence of the strength of the Nigerian leadership, with
the effort that the President and the Vice President are making to
strengthen the economy, fight corruption and deal with the security
challenges”, he said.
He further hailed the relationship between Nigeria and the U.S. since
Buhari’s inauguration as Nigeria’s President.
“I was here just a little less than a year ago in preparation for
President Buhari’s visit to Washington and since then we have seen the
relationship between Nigeria and the U.S. grow deeper and stronger”, he
stated.
Blinken expressed belief that all Boko Haram’s captives, especially the
Chibok girls, would regain freedom.
“We have been focused on this from day one, doing whatever we can to
provide all the assistance and information that we can develop’’, he
said of the Chibok girls.
According to him, this is something that has personally touched so many
people in the U.S., including President Barack Obama and his family.
“It is something that we are focused on every single day. Of course
there are others besides the girls who have been taken hostage by Boko
Haram.
“Our thoughts are with them as well and we are determined as the
Nigerian government, not to rest until we get them home”, he added.
