President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday,
in Abuja welcomed efforts to strengthen and expand cooperation between ECOWAS and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) on the war against terrorism.
Speaking at a meeting with the president
of the ECOWAS Commission, Kadre Desire Ouedraogo, Buhari restated his
view that greater regional and inter- national cooperation was needed to
ensure victory over terrorism in Nigeria and other countries.
The president assured Ouedraogo that
Nigeria will hold further consultations with other stakeholders to agree
on a new date for the ECOWAS-ECCAS security summit on Boko Haram,
earlier scheduled to hold in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea on April 8, 2015.
T
he summit was postponed because of the general elections in Nigeria on March 28 and April 11, 2015.
