Presidency Request $1Billion , to Fight BokoHaram

We Nigerians can call it a joke but Nigeria's President Goodluck
Jonathan, requested as sum of $1 Billion to House of Assembly to
fight the northern Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram .

He sought the the National Assembly, NASS , approval to borrow $ 1
billion (N 168 billion) to fight Boko Haram.



In a letter sent on Tuesday and addressed to the Senate
President, David Mark, Mr. Jonathan spoke about the need for
external borrowing to enable the upgrade of security equipment in
order to fight the insurgency that is currently bedevilling Nigeria,
particularly the North East.

However, the military and security officials are still considered ill-
equipped to tackle Boko Haram insurgency according to President
Jonathan
