of the dreaded and deadly Islamist sect have started reaching out for dialogue
with the Nigerian government.

comprehensive dialogue with the Nigerian government.

started calling, immediately after President Muhammadu Buhari announced that
the Nigerian government was ready to negotiate with credible members of the
group.

Centre views this gesture as good. It has opened a window of opportunity for
dialogue for those insurgents that are willing and ready to lay down their
arms,” Mr. Anas said.
He said, “Nevertheless, the Centre will continue to support and encourage
all efforts towards bringing insurgency to an end in our country.”
