President Muhamma- du Buhari, yesterday, in Abuja welcomed efforts to strengthen and expand cooperation be- tween ECOWAS and the Economic Community of Central African States (EC- CAS) on the war against terrorism.
Speaking at a meeting with the president of the ECOWAS Commission, Kadre Desire Ouedraogo, Buhari restated his view that greater regional and inter- national cooperation was needed to ensure victory over terrorism in Nigeria and other countries.
The president assured Ouedraogo that Nigeria will hold further consultations with other stakeholders to agree on a new date for the ECOWAS-ECCAS security summit on Boko Haram, earlier scheduled to hold in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea on April 8, 2015. T
he summit was post- poned because of the gen- eral elections in Nigeria on March 28 and April 11, 2015.
