We Must Win The Fight Against Terrorism, Buhari Tells ECOWAS Leaders.
President Muhammadu Buhari Saturday in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, urged ECOWAS leaders not to allow terrorist groups destabilise the region.
President Buhari, who joined other ECOWAS leaders for the special one-day Summit, which was also attended by leaders of Chad and Mauritania decried that terrorism, today, has become a major security threat across the globe. ”Equally worrisome, is the continuing spread of the menace of terrorism in the region and the growing link between terrorism and organized crime.”And the best way to achieve this objective is through coordinated regional actions and responses against terrorism, insurgency, banditry, inter-communal disputes while we also put in place policies and measures that will address their root causes including the re-establishment and protection of livelihoods,” he said.
The Nigerian leader also used the occasion to apprise the regional leaders on the situation in the Lake Chad Basin and the operations of the Multinational Joint Task Force . On MNJTF, the President reported that the achievements recorded so far in the operations remain an exemplary model of regional collaboration.
