country,Speaking at the opening of the sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VI), President Buhari reaffirmed that Boko Haram terrorists have been
degraded, even as the reintegration of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the country receives immediate attention.“The bottom line is that these problems are our primary responsibility. We must tackle them and find lasting solutions for ourselves,’’ spokesperson, Garba Shehu, quoted the President as saying.President Buhari told the summit attended by Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, some 35 African leaders and chief executives of at least 80 major companies from Japan, that international cooperation with Nigeria was central in the decimation of Boko Haram terror group.”I took over the mantle of leadership in Nigeria when the North-Eastern part of the country was being ravaged by Boko Haram.”However, soon after assumption of office, our administration with the support of our immediate neighbours — Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin- and international partners including Japan, faced the challenge frontally. `”As I speak, the terror group has been decimated and life is beginning to return to normal in the affected region. The challenge we currently face which is also being addressed, is that of the IDPs which number over two million to get them re-integrated with their families and their original homes,’’ he said
