Some of the recommendations on BokoHaram.... The Federal Government should fundamentally, consider the option of dialogue and negotiation which should be contingent upon the renunciation of all forms of violence and surrender of arms to be followed by a rehabilitation programme on the side of government; • The Federal Government should create an informal forum at the highest level, where Mr. President will discuss national security issues with governors and other stakeholders from time to time. Again, there is an urgent need for arranging an informal forum where Mr. President will grant audience to each state governor on one-to-one basis where issues on security, could be addressed; • The Federal Government should diversify and strengthen its means of creating avenues for international intelligence sharing and inter-agency cooperation through diplomatic channels/ pacts; • The Federal Government and Borno State government should ensure that human and organisation victims most especially, churches and mosques including schools, which were destroyed during the religious crisis in the past and even in the recent past, should be compensated monetarily and by way of resuscitating and reconstructing their properties. Survivors of the deceased victims should be compensated appropriately; and • The Federal Government is urged to consider widely, the scope of the present assignment to cover all security challenges facing the nation. This view is well informed by comments, suggestions and counsel made by many concerned individuals to the committee in the course of interactions with stakeholders including the executive governors of Borno, Bauchi, Kano, Niger and Sokoto. The committee’s original term of reference was to: • Initiate negotiations with the militant Islamic group Boko Haram. • Look into the security challenges in the North-East Zone and proffer solutions/recommendations, which could bring speedy resolution to the crisis; • Serve as liaison between the Federal Government (state government where necessary) and Boko Haram and to initiate negotiations with the sect. • Liaise with the National Security Adviser (NSA) to ensure that security services discharge their respective assignments with optimal professionalism; • Consult with stakeholders from time to time for suggestions and to ascertain the true state of affairs; and • Consider any other initiative that will serve to endure peace and security in the area. https://m.facebook/notes/adam-baba-yamani/some-of-the-recommendations-on-boko-haram-crises-by-presidential-white-paper-com/251873661572514/?refid=17&ref=stream&_ft_=app_id.2347471856&__tn__=C
