According to BBC, the US government has given $5 million to the fight against Boko Haram.This was deduced from the outcome of the meeting with President Buhari as the US President made it clear that Buhari was keen on putting an end to the Boko Haram group.
President Obama also commended the efforts of President Buhari towards the fight against corruption asserting that it was the major issue that made US withdraw from supporting the nation during Goodluck Jonathan's tenure.
