Nigeria doesn’t need help over IPOB – FM

Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, says the country does not require any international help to curtail any threats posed by the Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

Onyeama, at a news conference at the UN headquarters in New York on Friday evening, said the threat from the self-agitation group would be handled.

“IPOB is as of now an internal threat and Nigeria does not need international assistance to resolve it,” the minister said.

According to him, IPOB is different from the Boko Harm terrorists which main aim was to capture territory and to kill innocent people.

Onyeama said that Nigeria's population were young and restless over the state of the economic system which is why Nigeria faces a migration issue.

He said, "If we can get the economy right and we can get the good governance to our people, we believe that most of our problems would be taken care of."
