Q: President Muhammadu Buhari was re-elected in February – what will his administration focus on during its second term?
A: The government has an opportunity to consolidate the gains it made in its first term in areas such as fighting corruption, revamping the economy and, particularly, tackling security issues. We can’t discuss investment and the economy without addressing security. A major challenge we faced was the terrorist group Boko Haram, which occupied territory the size of Belgium before we came to power. But today their support has been massively depleted. The threat still exists, no doubt, but the government is working closely with international partners, both at a regional and global level, to ward off Boko Haram.
