Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed corruption for the inability of the Nigerian military to quickly defeat Boko Haram.
Speaking at an audience with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed El-Tayeb, President Buhari said that the loss of 14 local government areas to Boko Haram had greatly tarnished the reputation of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
With the measures taken by his Administration to curb corruption and provide better weaponry, logistics, training and welfare for soldiers on the frontlines, the Nigerian military has now almost totally incapacitated Boko Haram as a fighting force and recovered all territories that were lost to the terrorist sect," he said.
"When we curbed corruption and removed the injustice in the military, we began to make progress," President Buhari said.
Welcoming the support of Muslims across the world for Nigeria's war against Boko Haram, the President said that the war against terrorism was also a war against injustice, which is not condoned by Islam and all the major religions.
