It was learned that France pledged assistance for the Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTF) with intelligence gathering and military equipment to combat terrorism in Nigeria and the West African region.
The French president expressed concern of the increase in violence and insecurity in West Africa.
“We provide all of the support to the countries in the region which are affected by this cult and in Nigeria, we want to provide support and solidarity,” President Hollande said. He commended President Buhari for his recent actions such as the movement of the military command center to Maiduguri, which he said had helped tremendously in weakening the insurgents.
