The Envoy who expressed government’s commitment to fighting corruption, appealed for continuous support from the Swiss authorities.
He also spoke on the current security situation in the country saying that activities of Boko Haram insurgents had been reduced to the barest minimum.
“What we have now are pockets of hit and run attacks synonymous with a dying terrorist group.
“This is a clear indication of our commitment and resolve to surmount the challenge.
“However, we need more international support for the group to be wiped out completely considering the threat it poses to Nigeria, it’s neighbours and the world at large, ” the envoy stressed.
