#CODED-ish News:: Nigeria READY To Negotiate With Boko Haram

Nigeria’s Minister of Special Duties Tanimu Turaki says if Boko Haram was sincere, its leader Abubakar Shekau should send people he trusted to meet the standing committee on reconciliation.

Mr Turaki who is chairman of a committee set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to find ways of reaching agreement with Boko Haram said that Mr Shekau should send people he trusted to meet the standing committee on reconciliation.
He told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that "dialogue is a key option" in bringing the crisis to an end and that "an issue of this nature can be resolved outside of violence".
