President Francois Hollande of France will arrive
Nigeria on Friday for a regional security summit
scheduled for Abuja on Saturday, 14 May.
A statement signed by the Special Adviser to the
President (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, said
the summit is in furtherance of ongoing efforts by
President Muhammadu Buhari to enhance the
security of lives, properties and investments in
Nigeria and neighbouring countries.
President Hollande hosted the first Regional
Security Summit in Paris on May 17, 2014.
The statement said President Buhari and the French
President will be joined at the summit by the
Presidents of Cameroon, Niger Republic, Chad and
Benin Republic.
The United States, Britain, Equatorial Guinea, the
European Union, ECOWAS, the Economic
Community of Central African States and the Gulf of
Guinea Commission will also be represented at the
summit which will have the successful conclusion
of ongoing military operations against Boko Haram
at the top of its agenda.
The speedy resolution of the humanitarian crises
caused by the barbaric atrocities of the terrorist
group will also feature prominently on the summit’s
agenda.
Before proceeding to the summit, President Buhari
will receive President Hollande and the French
delegation at the Presidential Villa on Saturday
morning.
It is expected that new agreements on further
defence and cultural cooperation between Nigeria
and France will be concluded and signed after talks
between the two Presidents and their officials.
