President Muhammadu Buhari has directed frontline states affected by the Boko Haram scourge to articulate assessments, cost and location of affected facilities for submission and further verification by the G7 Group.
The frontline affected states – Borno, Yobe and Adamawa – are to compile the assessment on local government by local government basis. The president gave the order while inaugurating the National Economic Council (NEC) at the chambers hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, yesterday.
“Following my invitation to Germany early this month by the G7 Nations who have shown concern about the insurgency and promised to intervene to restore the destroyed infra-structure, schools and hospitals, among others, I have directed the frontline states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa to articulate realistic assessments, costs, locations on local government by local government of affected facilities for submission to the president of the G7 for further verification,” he said.
Already, the requirements of the military have been prepared by the service chiefs for the consideration of the G7 Nations, he said.
