The United States government is hopeful that Nigeria will soon come out of its current security challenges, saying that the joint efforts of the government of President Jonathan and Barack Obama would lead to the defeat of terrorist group soon.

The US Bureau for African Affairs, Ms. Hilary Renner, while addressing journalist recently, said that the American government was still concerned about the ongoing attacks against Nigeria’s citizens, civil institutions and infrastructure by Boko Haram sect.

“The United States has already designated a number of Boko Haram’s senior commanders as terrorists, shining a light on their horrific acts and cutting off their access to the US financial system.

“Violent extremism requires more than just a security response. The group known as Boko Haram exploits legitimate northern grievances to attract recruits and public sympathy,” she added.
