Abuja - The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshall, Alex Badeh, says Niger and Chad republics are still part of the multinational force fighting insurgency in the North East.
Badeh said this while fielding questions from State House correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday.
He spoke after a meeting of service chiefs, governors and members of the National Assembly from Borno, Yobe and Adamawa over the security challenges in the area.
The meeting was presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.
He reassured that the army would overcome the challenges of insurgency in the country.
Badeh, however, stressed the need for further collaboration with the security agencies in Chad, Niger and Cameroun to check the activities of the insurgents.
On the call for the closure of borders between Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Nigeria, Badeh said it would be a difficult task due to the porous nature of the border areas.
He reiterated the commitment of the military to stamp out Boko Haram in the country.
