President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to intensify efforts in eliminating the remaining elements of the Boko Haram insurgency, who continue to target soft locations as a diversionary tactic.
The President made this call in a condolence message issued on Sunday, in response to the recent suicide bombing in Konduga, Borno State.
Expressing deep sorrow over the incident, Tinubu condemned the attack as cowardly and mourned the victims.

He also extended his condolences to the Government and people of Borno State, while instructing the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to provide immediate support to survivors.
In a related development, the President sympathised with the families of those killed or injured in Saturday morning’s explosion at a scrap metal factory in Kano State.
The blast affected 15 individuals, five of whom lost their lives. Tinubu emphasised the need for strict workplace safety protocols and directed relevant government agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
