Being an opinion article by President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, as published in yesterday’s edition of New York Times.

ABUJA— When Boko Haram attacked a school in the town of Chibok, in northeastern Nigeria, kidnapping more than 200 girls, on the night of April 14, 2014, the people of my country were aghast. Across the world, millions of people joined them in asking: How was it possible for this terrorist group to act with such impunity? It took nearly two weeks before the government even commented on the crime.

Abuja—The National Security Adviser (NSA) retired Col. Sambo Dasuki promised yesterday that Sambisa Forest, the fortress of Boko Haram terrorists and one of their last remaining camps will be stormed and liberated before the May 29, 2015 presidential hand-over date.

The NSA, in a statement issued on the anniversay of the abduction of over 200 secondary school girls from Chibok, Borno State also gave an assurance that the Federal Government was making every effort to ensure that the girls with every other Nigerian abducted by terrorists are rescued.

A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Apo, Abuja, has okayed the release of former President Obasanjo’s book: My Watch, for release.

President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari is set to lead a campaign against the pension laws for governors enacted by many states of the federation, reports Vanguard. According to the news platform’s sources, Buhari’s position is based on the incongruity of the laws under the country’s socio-economic environment.

Majority of the 36 state Houses of Assembly in the country have enacted generous pension entitlements for governors to last for life. Provisions in the pension allowances in many cases provide 100 percent pay for the incumbent governors buildings, medical allowances for them and their family members, staff, security and vehicles that are renewable every three or four years — privileges lasting for life.

The President of the Nigerian Union in South Africa, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, on Wednesday urged the Federal Government to help halt the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in that country. Anyene on phone from Pretoria, South Africa, said that the latest spate of xenophobic attacks began three weeks ago.

More than 50 of the girls abducted by militant Islamists in Nigeria last year were seen alive three weeks ago, a woman has told the BBC.

She saw the girls in the north-eastern Gwoza town before the Boko Haram militants were driven out of there by regional forces.
Boko Haram sparked global outrage when it seized more than 219 girls from Chibok town a year ago.
The US, China and other foreign powers promised to help find the girls.
However, the girls have never been traced, and little has been heard of them since they were taken from their boarding school.
