The President stated that the measure will be backed up by the serious efforts to rid the country of terrorism and insurgency in the shortest possible time.

One of the objectives of the CVE is to reform terrorists and prevent others from joining terrorist organisations and violent sects.

Head of the CVE, Dr Fatima Akilu, told President Buhari that its non-military approach was running concurrently with the armed onslaught against insurgents in the country.

She said that so far, the CVE has rehabilitated no fewer than 305 victims of terrorism rescued from the Sambisa Forest by the Nigerian military.

She told the President that a National Security Corridor Program has been created to provide a safe route for those who wish to leave Boko Haram voluntarily, and that 47 erstwhile members of the group have embraced the programme.

Dr. Akilu also said that no fewer than 22 women and girls, recruited as suicide bombers by Boko haram are now undergoing rehabilitation by the CVE  after voluntarily embracing its de-radicalization program.
