CHAIRMAN of the Northern States Governors Forum and Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, has said that any agreement with the international community in the fight against insurgency should not exceed three months.
The governor also said that the country should be very careful in the crafting of the wordings of the agreements and the Memorandum of Understanding that will be entered into with the foreign countries.
Aliyu, who spoke in Minna, the Niger State capital, on Wednesday after five new commissioners and the Head of Service in the state, took their oath of office said Nigerians were already apprehensive of the outcome of foreign assistance in the war against insurgents thus necessitating the call for the Federal Government to be careful.
"It is a normal thing for the country to seek assistance in the fight against insurgency but the people are apprehensive; we must be careful of the wordings of the agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding to be signed," he said.
He said it was regrettable that Nigeria that had been seen as 'as a peace keeper' now needed the assistance of the international community to maintain peace within its territory, advising that Nigerians should rally round the government to ensure restoration of peace in the country.
Aliyu said the country would overcome insurgency with the support of the international community and cooperation of the citizens within three months
