The United Nations has said in spite of efforts by the Nigerian military to contain the menace of terrorism in the North-east, three local government areas in Borno State still remain completely inaccessible to aid workers as a result of the threat posed by the Boko Haram sect.
The organization, which stated that though accessibility to most parts of the crisis-ravaged region could improve at the end of the rainy season, however, raised the alarm that the same circumstance could equally increase the rate of attacks from the terrorist group.

It stated that insecurity, the presence of mines, improvised explosive devices, and unexploded ordinances had continued to slow down the response of humanitarian agencies in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. Read more @ This Day Live.
