GEJ heads for Paris talks with leaders of neighbouring countries on joint action against BH
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will travel to Paris, France, Friday to participate in a summit convened by President Francois Hollande to discuss fresh strategies for dealing with the security threat posed by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in West and Central Africa.
President Jonathan will be joined at the summit by Heads of State and Government of Benin Republic, Cameroon, Niger and Chad.
It is also expected that
Britain, the United States of America and the European Union will be
represented at the talks which will give special attention to the coordination
and intensification of efforts to curtail the destabilizing activities of Boko
Haram in Nigeria and neighbouring countries in the wake of the recent abduction
of college girls from Chibok, Borno State.
President Jonathan, who will be
accompanied by the Minister of Defence, Lt-Gen. Aliyu Gusau (rtd.), the
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) as well as other principal
aides and advisers, will return to Abuja at the conclusion of the summit on
Saturday.
