$1bn Insurgency Fund Not For Fighting Boko Haram Only – Osinbajo


He said the decision of the summit followed consideration of various security challenges across the country, including kidnapping, small arms trafficking, terrorist activities of Boko Haram in the North East, clashes between herdsmen and farmers, as well as cattle rustling.

  “It was on account of the security summit that the governors at the Governors’ Forum subsequently decided that they would vote a certain sum of money, which has become somewhat controversial, the $1billion, to assist the security architecture of the country.

  “It was to assist all of the issues in the states, including policing in the states, community policing, all of the different security challenges that we have. 

 “It was after the security summit that the Governors’ Forum met across party lines, I must add, in order to approve and to accept that this is what needed to be done to shore up our security architecture.”

From officiallindaikeji : (How to hide a baby bump 101. Suck belle in and wear a high waist...lol).
