PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in New York, United States (U.S.) gave a run down of the steps his administration had taken to win the war against terrorism.
He also condemned what he described as the deliberate denigration of the religious beliefs of others and counselled that freedom of expression should not be taken as a licence for actions, which could lead to violence and disorder in any part of the world.
According to the President, his administration was not helpless in tackling the insecurity caused by the activities of the Boko Haram sect.
Jonathan listed the steps the Federal Government had taken against the menace as exploring opportunities for dialogue, improving law enforcement to ensure public safety and security and international cooperation through signing of agreements with Nigeria's neighbours - Cameroun, Nigerand Chad bilaterally and multilaterally, on the platform of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.
Jonathan, speaking to the 67th General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) against the background of recent protests in Nigeriaand the Middle East and North Africa over the Internet publication of a video, which denigrates Prophet Mohammed, said that freedom of expression and religious tolerance should be complementary to each other for the peaceful coexistence of people.
