“Unless you secure your environment, you can’t manage it well. We should all secure our countries, because if we don’t, what do we then bequeath to the next generation? We can’t grow or develop in an insecure environment,” Buhari said.
The Special Envoy said Nigeria was the pillar of Africa, and he had brought messages from his president “so that we consult, and see what we can do together”.
