The UN Security Council is set to visit Nigeria in March to discuss strategies for combating the Boko Haram insurgents.
The Security Council, at the request of the Federal Government, had listed Boko Haram as a terror grou on May 22, 2014.
Deputy Spokesperson for UN Secretary-General, Farhan Haq, confirming the visit to NAN said the council will evaluate the amount of damage done by the terrorist group and there will be efforts to also evaluate what the situation is.
Mr Haq said; “I believe, in the coming days, the Security Council itself does intend to visit Nigeria and see for itself the humanitarian situation and evaluate it first-hand.
“The Security Council will be going to Nigeria to assess the humanitarian situation caused by Boko Haram.
“The visit will be coming up in March,”.
“We (UN and partners) do continue to try to provide humanitarian aid, including in Nigeria.
“Certainly, any violence on the ground makes it more difficult to deliver humanitarian aid,”.
