British Foreign Secretary William Hague has reportedly promised Nigeria that Britain will increase its military and educational aid to help the country deal with the notorious terror group Boko Haram.

According to the BBC, Hague said Nigeria's army would receive extra training, especially in counter-insurgency tactics, while a million more children would be given schooling.

The Islamist terror group Boko Haram had abducted more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls in April.

Their abduction has caused international outrage, with people protesting and urging governments across the globe to help rescue the girls.
