The White House says President Barack Obama and Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan have reaffirmed their commitment to fighting terrorism, including ending an insurgency in northern Nigeria.
The two leaders met Monday in New York. Obama stressed a
comprehensive anti-terror approach that calls for creating economic
opportunity and protecting human rights. During remarks to the media,
Obama said ensuring that governments are responsive to people's needs is
the best way to undermine the agenda of radical groups like Boko Haram.
Boko Haram's violence occurs mostly in northern Nigeria.
Obama called it one of the most vicious terrorist organizations in the
world.
The White House says Obama also restated U.S. support for
strengthening transparent, democratic governance, and of making sure
upcoming Nigerian elections in 2015 are peaceful, transparent and
credible.
