Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has said that he hoped that the territories held by Islamist militant group Boko Haram will be retaken within a month as they are getting "weaker and weaker" by the day.
However, Jonathan, who is due to face election in a week, admitted that the response to the militants' initial advance in north-east Nigeria had been too slow, reported the BBC.
Backed by neighbouring countries Chad, Niger and Cameroon , Nigeria's army has retaken many towns and villages previously held by militants.
President Jonathan's government has been criticized in the past for its failure to tackle insurgency.
