The African Union Peace and Security Council has extended the mandate of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) in the fight against Boko Haram/ISWAP by one year.
The mandate was extended to February 2024 on Monday after a vote at the headquarters of the MNJTF in N’Djamena Chad.

In their separate remarks, Ambassador Bankole Adeoye, Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security Commission, Ambassador Mamman Nuhu, Executive Secretary of Lake Chad Basin Commission and Head of Mission of the MNJTF, and the Force Commander, MNJTF, Maj Gen Abul Khalifa Ibrahim, commended the MNJTF for the tremendous successes working with national operations including neutralisation of key terrorists leaders and decimating their logistics support bases.
They, however, urged the MNJTF to conduct more operations, which will force the terrorists to surrender unconditionally or face elimination.
