President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed his confidence in the fact that the days of terrorism in Nigeria are almost at an end. He made the remarks during the opening session of the World Economic Forum Africa which ends today in Abuja.

Jonathan said, “Let me use this unique opportunity to appreciate all the countries that have expressed their commitment, especially in terms of rescuing these girls that disappeared in one of our secondary schools.

“The government of China promised assistance and I believe that assistance will come almost immediately. The government of the US, the UK  and France have also  spoken with me and expressed their commitments towards resolving  this crisis in Nigeria.

“I believe that the kidnapping of these girls will be the beginning of the end of terror in Nigeria.”

“Nigeria is proud to host this event for the first time the conference is coming to West Africa. Let me use this unique opportunity to appreciate you for accepting to come. As a nation we are facing attacks of terrorists.

“Let me appreciate you individually and collectively for  your support for us, your sentiments and by your presence here in Nigeria at this time. You have already supported us to win the war on terror.

“If you had  refused to come because of fear, the terrorists would have jubilated and even committed more havoc. But your coming here to support us morally is a major blow to terrorists.”
