According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President spoke during a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khakan Abbasi of Pakistan, on the margins of the ninth D-8 summit in Istanbul, Turkey.
“We have moved them out from their strongholds in the North East, we have denied them space and even their attacks on soft targets are becoming less often.
“EVEN THE OPPOSITION (PARTY) RECOGNISES THAT THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT OF SECURITY IN THE NORTH EAST,” HE SAID.
THE PRESIDENT ADDED THAT THE TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION BETWEEN NIGERIA AND PAKISTAN HAD BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING.
“NIGERIA-PAKISTAN COOPERATION IS VERY HISTORICAL. MILITARY TRAINING HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT AND I AM IMPRESSED BY THE EFFICIENCY OF OFFICERS TRAINED IN PAKISTAN.
“BUT THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR COUNTRIES IN RELATION TO TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION HAD BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING,” BUHARI SAID.
