During the bilateral meeting between the two African leaders, Mr Buhari pointed out that advances being made against Boko Haram insurgents go beyond degradation through just force of arms, explaining that de-radicalization process was also going on.

He remarked that “we are achieving some measure of success. Even suicide bombing is becoming rare, as the local people are themselves rejecting indoctrination by the insurgents.”

The President assured existing and potential investors in Nigeria of adequate protection of their lives, investments and property, as the security situation in Nigeria is now very much better and conducive.

Mr Buhari said Nigeria was working hard to diversify the economy and expressed willingness to collaborate with South African businessmen especially in the areas of mining and agriculture, for the mutual benefit of the two countries.
