Turkey vows to support Nigeria in fight against Boko Haram

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday vowed to give Nigeria the needed support to defeat the terror group Boko Haram.

Although Erdogan, who is on an official visit to the West African country, did not specify the areas in which Turkey would support Nigeria, he told reporters in Abuja that the two countries will explore all collaborative means to combat terrorists.

According to him, it is better for Nigeria and Turkey to collaborate to defeat the menace since they suffer the same constant threats from terrorists.

He urged authorities in Nigeria, and citizens alike, to remain resolute and united in the fight against Boko Haram, saying this will go a long way to end the constant attacks.

Upon arrival to Nigeria on Wednesday, the Turkish leader, who had 150 businessmen in his entourage, met with President Muhammadu Buhari.
