On the issue of security, Jonathan assured the Council members of “putting an end to the holding of communities by Boko Haram insurgents.
“We are improving in the area of security. For about a week now, there has been no new story of Boko Haram members holding territories.
“Instead, we are reducing them by the day. Before now, many Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Borno were taken by Boko Haram, but now this has reduced.
“We are working to put an end to the holding of territories by Boko Haram.’’
