Abuja (State House Press Report)
President Muhammadu Buhari has on Tuesday June 23, 2015 in Abuja accepted an invitation from President Paul Biya to visit Cameroon at his earliest convenience for talks on the intensification of the cooperation between Nigeria and neighbouring countries in the war against Boko Haram and terrorism.
While receiving the invitation from the Cameroonian Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization, Sadi Rene Emmanuel, Muhammadu Buhari promised to visit Cameroon for the high-level talks after the end of the Ramadan fast.
The President also said that he is putting his experience as a former soldier to good use in the war against Boko Haram, emphasizing that greater regional and international cooperation is needed to end the atrocities of the terrorist group.
He commended the efforts of all regional governments, including Cameroon regarding their support to Nigeria in the war against Boko Haram and called for greater collaboration.
“I am happy that the President has sent you. As you must have observed, I was in Niger and Chad over this issue. I planned to be in Cameroon afterwards, but I received an invitation to attend the Group of Seven (G7) Meeting in Germany. I had to attend the meeting because Boko Haram has been internationalized and it was part of the discussions there,” he informed.
The Special Envoy assured the Nigerian President of President Biya’s fraternity, sympathy and brotherly commitment towards working with Nigeria to end the Boko Haram insurgency. “Together, we will reinforce our efforts, eradicate the scourge of terrorism and look forward to better things,” he said
