President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said he believed that with
the global efforts to find and rescue the over 200
girls abducted from their school by Boko Haram
insurgents, an end to the reign of terror in Nigeria
had begun.
Jonathan, who once again promised that the girls
would be rescued, spoke at the opening session of the ongoing World
Economic Forum for Africa in Abuja.
He thanked the foreign nations including , the United States,
Britain, France and China for their support in trying to find and rescue
the girls .
The President also lauded the delegates for coming to
Nigeria despite the danger posed by militants, saying their
presence was a big blow to terrorists.
Jonathan said, “Let me use this unique opportunity to appreciate all the
countries that have expressed their commitment, especially in terms of rescuing
these girls that disappeared in one of our secondary schools.
“The government of China promised assistance and I believe that
assistance will come almost immediately. The government of the US, the UK
and France have also spoken with me and expressed their commitments
towards resolving this crisis in Nigeria.
“I believe that the kidnapping of these girls will be the beginning of
the end of terror in Nigeria.”
The President observed that if the participants had decided not no
attend because of the negative news coming from the country, the terrorists
would have jubilated and be further emboldened to carry out more attacks.
He said, “Nigeria is proud to host this event for the first time
the conference is coming to West Africa. Let me use this unique opportunity to
appreciate you for accepting to come. As a nation we are facing attacks of
terrorists.
“Let me appreciate you individually and collectively for your
support for us, your sentiments and by your presence here in Nigeria at this
time. You have already supported us to win the war on terror.
“If you had refused to come because of fear, the terrorists would
have jubilated and even committed more havoc. But your coming here to support
us morally is a major blow to terrorists.”
