* Maku
The Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, has said Nigeria is currently discussing with neighbouring countries to tackle the problem of insurgency.
Maku, who was the Supervising Minister of Defence, made the statement in Abuja on Friday while handing over to the new Minister of Defence, Gen. Aliyu Gusau.
He said some of the recent attacks of the insurgents were carried out by elements from across Nigeria’s borders but that Nigeria was discussing with its neighbours to address the situation.
“I want to also emphasise that a lot of the elements have been coming from across the boundary and we have had occasions to discuss that very frankly.
“We believe that Nigeria is also in touch with their neighbours to contain the situation.
“I commend the armed forces for facing the challenges head on, and we must change the story as quickly as we can because it is crucial for this country.
“ I know for sure that our armed forces have been doing a great job.”
Maku urged the armed forces to remain loyal to the constitution and President Goodluck Jonathan.
