President Muhammadu Buhari says the assistance of the UN and the international community will be invaluable in reversing the devastation visited on Nigeria by the Boko Haram insurgency.

A statement by Mr Femi Adesina, the President’s spokesman, said Buhari stated this when he received the visiting President of the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Ms Maria Fernanda Espinosa, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.
President Buhari observed that the condition of internally displaced persons ((IDPs) in the country was pathetic.
“We have at least a million children who neither know their parents, nor where they come from,’’ he said.
He added that damage to infrastructure, particularly in the North-east, had been horrendous, saying that, “bridges have been blown up, schools, hospitals, churches, mosques, and other buildings have been destroyed.
“All these will be rehabilitated, and every form of international help is welcome.”
On the recharge of Lake Chad through inter-basin water transfer from Congo River, President Buhari said climate change was quite real to the region.
He noted that no fewer than 30 million people are negatively affected by the shrinking lake, with at least half of them being Nigerians.
The president stressed the role the international community needed to play in the endeavour, since recharging the lake was beyond the financial power of the affected countries.
In her remarks, the UNGA President commended Nigeria for being a key part of the United Nations system, saying the country was well respected in the global body.
“Nigeria is a major troops’ contributor to peace keeping operations, and a major part of the human rights architecture,’’ she said.
She commended President Buhari’s leadership of ECOWAS, and of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.
The UNGA President pledged to call the attention of the international community to the “hurting effects” of the Lake Chad problem, and other issues raised by the Nigerian leader.
Espinosa also lauded Nigeria for rehabilitating the UN building in Abuja, which was destroyed by Boko Haram insurgents during an attack in Aug. 2011.
