President Muhammadu Buhari is currently on his four-day official visit to New Delhi, India.
Nigerian leader had very busy second day of his trip the main aim of which was to attend
the 3rd India-Africa Forum Summit.
President Buhari has also met with his coursemate in staff college
Lt. Gen. Vinay Shankar (Rtd) and some of his old coursemates at the
LALIT Palace Hotel.
He got a presentation from Lt. Gen. Vinay Shankar (Rtd). Buhari is a
graduate of the Indian Defence Services Staff College in Wellington from
where he graduated in 1973.
While meeting with Nigerians in India Nigerian president was presented with gift of his portrait.
Buhari also told the Nigerians that he was fully aware of the
expectations of those who elected him on the platform of change and
integrity, while vowing to address infrastructure situation and end
insurgency in Nigeria’s north-east, hopefully by the end of the year.
He said: “We
are seeking to create jobs through agriculture, mining, industrial
value-addition and the promotion of small scale enterprises. We are also
taking steps to address criminality across the country. We are tackling
the menace of terrorism posed by Boko Haram head on and I am pleased to
note that though sporadic attacks on soft targets have not stopped, the
over-all capacity of Boko Haram to hold territory and determine the
course of the conflict has been severely degraded.”
