Hello Friends!


The Federal Government has reiterated its call on militant groups to come forward for dialogue, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

Vice-President Namadi Sambo made the call in Abuja on Thursday.

NAN quoted Sambo as saying, “It is clear today that the terror attacks are clearly against all segments of our society, which is uncalled for.

“I must seize this opportunity to call on all the groups to come forward for dialogue. Government is ready to discuss.

“History has proved that even wars that are fought for decades, at the end, are concluded only by dialogue.

The VP expressed concern over the activities of some groups whose activities portrayed Islam in a negative and evil light, saying, “I am not aware of any religion in the world that encourages unprovoked and relentless attack on other people.”
He said government was doing all it could to tackle the security problems in the country.

Sambo gave the assurance that the activities of militant groups in the country would not jeopardise government’s effort at stimulating Foreign Direct Investment.

He said, “Our desire to propel Foreign Direct Investment cannot be jeopardised. We are therefore extending our hands of friendship to our foreign friends with genuine intentions to come and do business in Nigeria.

“We assure them that our effort at tackling this menace is real and determined. Let me also appeal to foreign missions in the country to continue to support our efforts in this direction.

“Such a gesture will not only be appreciated, but will go a long way in strengthening the cordial relationship mutually shared by our countries. ”
