On his part, Buhari said that their administration is working tirelessly to combat the widespread killings.
He also thanked the US government for approving the sale of military hardware to Nigeria.
“We are even more grateful for the physical presence of the United States military who are training in our institutions and who also go to the front in the northeast to see how they are doing,” he said.
“The commitment of the United States to get rid of terrorism across the world, we have first hand experience of that and we are very grateful for it.”
