Boko Haram: Hague offers 'advice and support' to Nigeria

The Foreign Secretary William Hague has said Britain will significantly increase the training and advice it provides to the Nigerian armed forces to aid their battle against the Islamist militants Boko Haram.

More than 200 school girls who were abducted by the group two months ago are still missing.

Speaking after meeting with west African leaders in London, Mr Hague said Britain would also be doing more to improve education in Nigeria.
