Babagana Monguno, said Nigeria was winning the war against terror and the overblown insecurity situation in the country should be jettisoned.<\/p>\n<p>According to Monguno, no fewer than 15,000 insurgents and Boko Haram members had voluntarily surrendered in the North East in recent time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last five months, we have had a large wave of terrorists and their sympathisers surrendering in droves<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now it is becoming a humanitarian issue because we have to contain with so many of them,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Monguno reiterated that the country is safe for investors who were willing to explore enormous business opportunities in the country.
