President Goodluck Jonathan has given the Presidential Committee
on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North
additional two months to bring about peace in the northern part of the
country.
The Chairman of the Committee and Minister of Special Duties, Barr
Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, disclosed this to State House correspondents at
the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
Since the committee was inaugurated three months ago, the insurgency
in the north has continued, even after the committee claimed that
ceasefire agreement was signed with the Boko Haram sect.
The group had since denied any ceasefire agreement with the Federal Government.
Lamenting the bomb blasts in Kano on Monday, Turaki maintained that
it was sad that some people who do not wish the country well were bent
on pulling the hand of the clock backwards despite the serious efforts
the government is putting in to resolve the crisis.
