The President of Nigeria has called
for help in Malta for Nigeria and
other countries affected by the
scourge of terrorism. He called for
the establishment of a
Commonwealth Committee to
oversee the rendering of greater
assistance and support to Nigeria
and other member-countries which
had been adversely affected by
terrorism.

The President made the plea when he
spoke at a banquet hosted by Queen
Elizabeth II for Heads of State and
Government participating in the
Commonwealth Heads of
Government Meeting in Malta, his
Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Femi Adeshina said in a
statement yesterday.

He also noted that 10,000 Nigerians
have been killed and 2 million
people have been internally
displaced so far since terrorism
started 6 years ago in Nigeria. He
said most of the people affected are
women and children.

He also expressed the hope that the
committee would have been
established before the next meeting
of the organisation.
