The country made $100 million which is part of funds needed by the MNJTF which includes troops from Nigeria, Chad, Niger, and Cameroon – to fight the war against Boko Haram.
The money is to be released within the next one week to the multi-country military agency fighting the insurgent group, Boko Haram.
Speaking while chairing the Peace Security Council meeting at the ongoing 25th African Union summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Mr. Buhari said it is time to put an end to the crisis in the African region before the 2020 target.
“Our continents is inundated with conflicts of diverse forms. They include the crisis in Burkina Faso, Mali, Libya, Central Africa Republic, South Sudan, and more recently in Burundi.
“As you are aware in 2013 during our 50th anniversary celebration of our union, we as African leaders committed ourselves to the objective of silencing the local guns in Africa by 2020.
Mr. Buhari said though achieving a conflict free continent within five years might seems doubtful with the numerous conflicts persisting, efforts must be made for peace to exist.
He spoke about the Boko Haram crisis and the global dimension to the crisis and added that countries need to partner to curb the crisis.
“In particular, we are witnesses to the rampant destruction of homes, roads, communications lines, vital infrastructures and displacement of persons not to mention terrible loss of lives.
