The Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the UN, Amb. Jimoh Ibrahim, has assured ECOWAS countries that Nigeria will overcome its insurgency challenges.
Jimoh gave the assurance while hosting ambassadors and permanent representatives of ECOWAS member states to the United Nations at Nigeria House, New York.
“Nigeria will surmount insurgency. We survived a civil war from 1967 to 1970 and fought Boko Haram. We will overcome our problems,” he said.
He described the region’s security challenges as “generational grievances” requiring broader solutions beyond military force.
