Nigerian Government has made progress in combating Boko Haram, although the Islamist militant group was still a threat, the White House spokesman, Josh Earnest told journalist at a daily press briefing.
Josh also disclosed that the United States has assisted Nigerian authorities working to secure the release of schoolgirls kidnapped by the militants.
“The threat still remains and it is quite serious, and it is why the United States continues to be committed to supporting them as they counter that threat,” he said.
