Nigeria's president has faced criticism for not visiting the trouble-hit north-eastern regions
President
Goodluck Jonathan has made a surprise visit to north-east Nigeria, in
the aftermath of mass killings by Boko Haram Islamist militants.
Mr Jonathan told some of the 5,000 refugees who fled
last-week's violence: "I want to assure you that you will soon go back
to your houses."It was his first visit to the north-east since March 2013.
Critics have accused the president of ignoring the victims of Boko Haram's violence in the region.
He cancelled a trip to the region last year.
