President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated the country’s commitment to eradicate terrorists groups in Nigeria.
He stated this at the extraordinary summit of ECOWAS heads of state and government on counter-terrorism, taking place in Ouagadougou.
President Buhari is concerned about the ease with which terrorist groups access funds and acquire sophisticated weapons.
He added that though West African countries have made significant progress in combating terrorism, regional integration is still being threatened.
The special-one day summit by ECOWAS leaders and leaders from Chad, Cameroon and Mauritania is expected to adopt an action plan to address the spread of terrorism and violent extremism in the region.
