The African Counterterrorism Summit will commence in Abuja on Monday, April 22, with President Bola Tinubu in attendance.

This Sunday, Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s Special Advisor on Media and Publicity, revealed in a statement.

He claims that Nigeria is hosting the high-level African counterterrorism summit under the theme “Strengthening Regional Cooperation and Institution Building to Address the Evolving Threat of Terrorism” from April 22 to April 23 with assistance from the United Nations Office of Counterterrorism (UNOCT).

He went on to say that the summit’s goals are to strengthen international counterterrorism collaboration and alter the global community’s response to terrorism in Africa, with a focus on African-led and African-owned solutions.

“The summit will provide a platform to review the nature and severity of the threat of terrorism on the continent, with a view to agreeing on concrete strategic priorities and measures to address this scourge. It will also foster deeper regional collaboration, enhancing the institutional capacity of member states and facilitating the exchange of best practices and knowledge to combat the multifaceted threat of terrorism in Africa.

“Heads of state and government and high-level government officials across Africa, representatives of international organizations and multilateral institutions, members of the diplomatic corps, and members of civil society groups are expected to attend the summit.

“Ms. Amina Mohammed, the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, will attend the event,” he stated.
