Forces have driven the terrorist group from Nigerian territory into “fall-back
positions”.
In

speak.”
He

pursue global action to reverse the drying up of Lake Chad and save the lives
of those who depend on it for survival.
“With
all due respect to our neighbours, Nigeria has been worst hit by the drying up
of the Lake Chad and we are hoping that the global community will support the
process of halting the drying up of the lake,” Buhari said.
Ban

The
secretary-general said Nigeria has made amazing progress against terrorism
since the President assumed office.
