“These girls are not held in Chibok.
Sometimes, people want the President to go to Chibok. If the President
goes to Chibok today, it will not solve any problem. The problem facing
the President and indeed the Nigerian government is how to get these
girls from wherever they are,” he said.
The President also noted that the
unconventional war declared on Nigeria by the Boko Haram sect since 2009
had claimed over 12,000 lives with more than 8, 000 persons injured or
maimed.
The figure, he said, was apart from the thousands of Nigerians that were displaced during the period.
On the group Boko Haram, he told the world;
He told participants at the summit that
the clear objective of the sect was to destabilise and take over Nigeria
in order to turn it into its operational base in West Africa and the
entire continent.
While saying that global terrorist
networks like Al Qaeda are deeply involved in the recent activities of
Boko Haram, Jonathan made a case for the designation of the sect as a
terrorist organisation on the basis of the proscription order that his
government had already imposed on the organisation.
According to the communiqué issued at the
end of the parley, Nigeria and its neighbours will build response and
analysis capabilities to enhance security of all populations.
They they agreed on accelerating the
implementation of international sanctions against Boko Haram, Ansaru,
and their leaders with the United Nations framework.
All the participants also reaffirmed their commitment to human rights and protection of girls who are victims of violence.
