President Muhammadu Buhari has called for greater
cooperation among West African nations to combat escalating volatilities and
threats.
The President spoke after inaugurating a 3.8km length and
160m wide Boulevard named after him by the Government of Niger Republic.
Buhari stressed that the ever-evolving nature of the threats
underlines the need for enhanced coordination.
The Nigerian leader said incremental progress has been made
in the fight against terrorism and other trans-border crimes.
He warned of renewed efforts by violent extremist groups to
expand their operations and footholds in West Africa.
Buhari reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to bilateral, as well
as multilateral initiatives with Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
Commenting on the French version of his biography, he
expressed hope that it would inspire emerging leaders to believe in “hard work,
integrity and patriotism”.
At the book launch were President Mohamed Bazoum, President
Umaro Sissoco Embaló of Guinea Bissau, Chad leader General Mahamat Idriss, and
ex-Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou.
