Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger have agreed to quickly form a new force that would comprise 2,800 soldiers to fight the Boko Haram insurgents.
The defence ministers of Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger said they would each contribute 700 troops to the force.
According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, Niger’s Defence Minister, Karidio Mahamadou, said they were determined to “eradicate this curse”.
Boko Haram’s insurgency is focused on Nigeria, but it has carried out some cross-border raids.
It was suspected of blowing up the Ngala bridge, which lies on a key transport link between north-eastern Nigeria and Cameroon, on Wednesday.
Cars and lorries loaded with goods are stranded on the highway, residents told the BBC.
The regional defence ministers met in Niger’s capital, Niamey, on Wednesday, to hold further discussions on the growing threat posed by Boko Haram.
While the meeting was ongoing, the Islamist group again unleashed terror on Kaduna killing 70 people. A former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) who was caught in the violent attacks narrowly escaped death.
Boko Haram has not commented, but it is suspected to have carried out the attacks.
It launched an insurgency in 2009 to create an Islamic state in Nigeria.
In May, the four West African countries, whose borders meet at Lake Chad, agreed to share intelligence and coordinate border security.
Efforts to step up regional co-operation gained momentum after Boko Haram caused an international outcry by abducting more than 200 girls from a boarding school in north-eastern Nigeria.
The girls are said to be held in the vast Sambisa forest, along Nigeria’s border with Cameroon.
Boko Haram has carried out a spate of abductions in Cameroon – including that of tourists and priests.
Unconfirmed reports say the group has also recruited fighters from Chad and Niger.

Mashaba is new South Africa

coach

The South African Football Association (SAFA) has appointed Ephraim ‘Shakes’ Mashaba as the new Bafana Bafana coach.
The 63-year old takes over from Gordon Igesund whose contract had expired, supersport.com reports.
Mashaba’s appointment brings to an end weeks of speculation and debate on who will take over the senior national team’s job.
Announcing Mashaba’s appointment at a packed media conference on Saturday, SAFA President, Dr. Danny Jordaan, said the entire National Executive Committee of the body was confident of a new era under Mashaba’s reign.
“He has a proven record, is a hard worker and he fulfilled all requirements we were looking for to drive our senior national team back to where we all believe it belong – at the top,” said Dr. Jordaan.
In accepting his appointment, an elated Mashaba said he was relishing the challenge and the expectations of the entire nation.
“First of all, I would like to thank the SAFA NEC for the confidence that they have demonstrated in me. This is a massive but exciting test. I am elated and ready for the challenge,” said Mashaba from Mali where he is with the country’s U- 20 team.
“I will do all my best to bring back the winning mentality within Bafana Bafana. With the support of all South Africans, the goal of taking Bafana Bafana back to the top is very achievable,” he stated.
He coached Bafana Bafana from 2002-2004 and this will be his second stint with the national team.
His first assignment will be the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier for Morocco 2015 against Sudan on the weekend of 5/7 September in Khartoum.

LMC clears Rangers, Enyimba,

five others

The League Management Company (LMC) has announced that Enugu Rangers, Enyimba and five other clubs have been cleared after fulfilling all financial obligations to their players.
According to information gathered, the latest clubs to be cleared are – Heartland, Sunshine Stars, Enyimba International, Warri Wolves, El-Kanemi Warriors, Rangers International and Lobi Stars.
They joined Kano Pillars, Abia Warriors and Bayelsa United who were the first to be cleared by the league’s governing body earlier in the week, kickOffNigeria.com reports.
All 20 clubs in the Glo Premier League had at the start of the season received N10 million each from the LMC as the first installment of the “Basic Award,” and the LMC had said they could receive more in the course of the season if they are found to have complied with requirements.
To this effect, only debt-free clubs as well as those who have complied with the N150, 000 monthly minimum wage will benefit from the Basic Award. Indebted clubs will also be prevented from operating in the mid-season transfer market.
“We have created these procedures to protect players from the previous tales of unpaid salary arrears and will be working with the clubs to ensure overall improvement of players’ welfare,” chief operating officer of the LMC, Salihu Abubakar, disclosed.
He, however, revealed that Gombe United, Sharks and Giwa FC were refused clearances after documents they submitted indicated that they pay players below the minimum wage.
