Nigeria: We're Confronting Boko Haram Resurgence in North East

Defence Minister Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar cautioned on Tuesday in Kaduna about a renewed increase in Boko Haram activities in North-East Nigeria, particularly within Borno State.
He linked the recent uptick in Boko Haram activities to the group's intensified attempts to disrupt stability not only in Nigeria but also across several neighboring Sahel countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
The minister highlighted that over the past two weeks, the Nigerian Armed Forces have intensified their efforts, successfully neutralizing numerous insurgents while continuing to tackle banditry challenges in the North-West region.
Badaru emphasized that if their efforts are fairly recognized, recent weeks have shown increased effectiveness by the military in launching operations that have successfully targeted and reduced insurgent groups.
He expressed confidence that through kinetic and non-kinetic approaches, continued military research, and training at institutions like NDA and AFIT, Nigeria will restore normalcy and achieve self-sufficiency in military equipment.
