The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has arrived Abuja from Nouakchott, the Mauritanian capital where he attended the Third Forum of the African Conference for Peace.
Buhari premised his argument on the free circulation of “all sorts of small and light weapons” orchestrated by foreign fighters.
He also argued that the idleness of African youths and non-inclusion in discussing issues that concern them is providing a steady recruitment pool for extremist organisations wreaking havoc in various parts of the continent. Therefore, he urged African leaders to place a premium on youth development, with more seriousness and actionable ideas in promoting skills acquisition while discouraging idleness.
The President also received the “Award for Strengthening Peace in Africa” conferred upon him by the Abu Dhabi Peace Forum at the conference.All rights reserved.
