President Goodluck Jonathan has given a strong assurance that Boko Haram will be defeated in the north eastern states of Yobe, Borno and Adamawa in the next couple of days.
President Jonathan told the Voice of America (VOA) in an interview that the military is doing its best to clear the insurgents from occupied areas by Boko Haram.
The president said the government is aware of an arrangement where some Boko Haram fighters are being trained abroad, expressing optimism that the insurgents will soon be destroyed.
He further noted that there is an agreement with foreign technicians to train Nigerian soldiers on the use of the newly acquired military hardware.
Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin have mobilised forces this year to help Nigeria defeat Boko Haram after it seized large amounts of territory and staged cross-border attacks
