BUHARI spoke while granting audience to the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross PETER MAURER at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President commended the role played by the ICRC in the release of the twenty-one abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
While urging ICRC to sustain its humanitarian interest in Nigeria, BUHARI said he would continue to dialogue with the Boko Haram insurgents if agencies like ICRC were involved.
BUHARI said Nigeria’s biggest problem was the issue of Internally Displaced Persons whose population he put at over two million.
He noted that the G7 had also indicated support which is a welcome development to the Federal government.
The ICRC President said his organisation’s operation in the Lake Chad region was the second largest in the world after Syria.
