There are many causes of the Islamist rebellion. Mr. Dasuki says they include poverty, social injustice, and the failure of Islamists to mix with other Nigerians. He says the solutions include prison reform, economic development, peace talks and education.
Under the plan, two prisons will become what the government calls de-radicalization centers. The national security advisor says the next step is to train people working at the prisons.
The initiative will require substantial capacity-building of prison staff in areas such as psychology, sport and art therapy, faith-based instructors and vocational training experts that would engage beneficiaries.
He says another way to fight the growth of Boko Haram is through reforming the economy in northeastern Nigeria. Many people who live there are very poor. This poverty adds strength to the rebels.
Genro Olajuyigbe is a human security manager at Action Aid, a poverty-fighting group. He says better security is needed if the government plans to use non-military methods against Boko Haram.
He says the people are in an insecure environment -- economics has collapsed, rights have collapsed, there is an intrusion of fear. And he says he thinks the best thing to do is to stabilize the country a bit.
The United Nations has called the Boko Haram insurgency increasingly monstrous. UN officials say almost 500,000 people have fled their homes, and tens of thousands have fled to neighboring countries. Farmers have left their fields. The lack of crops has threatened food security in many areas.
