The challenges of insecurity
posed by Boko Haram will be top on the issues President Goodluck Jonathan will
discuss with President Barack Obama as he left Nigeria today for New York.
Jonathan is attending the
69th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
His spokesman, Reuben Abati,
said in a statement that Jonathan would address the United Nations Security
Council High-Level Session on Threats to International Peace and Security
Caused by Terrorist Acts.
According to Abati, the
president would present Nigeria’s statement to the UN
General Assembly on Wednesday.
Jonathan is also expected to
attend receptions hosted by American President Barack Obama and the
Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki Moon.
Abati said the president
Jonathan was also scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Ban Ki Moon and the
British Prime Minister, Mr. David Cameron.
He said the president would
stop over in London for a brief private visit before proceeding to New York.
The Boko Haram menace has
assumed a frightening dimension for the Nigerian government which appears to be
at loss over the solution to the problem.
