The European countries have berated the world organization for not doing enough to access these people in desperate need.

It calls on the UN to be involved in stronger, strategic consistent advocacy with the Nigerian authorities.

President Muhammadu Buhari  promised when  he came to power in 2015 to beat Boko Haram.

He’s insisting that progress is being made and help to the victims of terror should be development aid rather than humanitarian assistance
