President Muhammadu Buhari has said it is not
easy for his administration which, he said, is
fighting on many fronts.
According to him, the government is contending
with insurgency in the North-East and oil theft in
the South-South while trying to provide
infrastructure in the country at the same time.
Speaking when the President of Togo, Faure
Gnassingbe, visited the Presidential Villa on
Thursday to invite him to a security summit in
Togo in November, 2015, Buhari noted that
development would be impossible without
security.
He, therefore, called for cooperation among
African countries to combat terrorism, piracy and
other security challenges facing the sub-region.
He also said African countries must pay
attention to agriculture and manufacturing to
provide jobs for unemployed youths.
Buhari expressed appreciation for Gnassingbe’s
visit and for his concern about regional security,
Boko Haram insurgency, oil theft, illegal fishing,
oil pollution and the dumping of toxins.
He said, “His (Gnassingbe’s) concern about
regional security made it imperative for him to
organise a summit on maritime security and
development in November to examine a lot of
issues.
“As for Nigeria, we are grateful for the sympathy
and the goodwill expressed, touching on the
performance of our armed forces and law
enforcement agencies, since this administration
came into being. It is is not easy trying to fight
on so many fronts, the North-East, the South-
South and then try to provide infrastructure in
our country.”
The President observed that the cooperation of
the regional countries comprising Cameroun,
Chad, Niger and Benin Republic had resulted in
the isolation of Boko Haram and a chance of
peace in the region.
Speaking earlier, the Togolese President
commended Buhari and the Nigerian security
forces for the work they are doing to combat
terrorism in West Africa.
He informed the President that the security
summit being hosted by his country would deal
with issues of piracy, oil theft, environmental
pollution, immigration, as well as human and
drug trafficking.
When asked by journalists if African countries
were not hosting too many summits, Gnassingbe
disagreed, saying the summits were not enough.
He said, “Piracy alone costs the Gulf of Guinea
$7billion a year, that is what we lose for not
combatting it and we also know that without
cooperation you cannot combat piracy, but the
first stage is to come together and talk.
“If all the African countries are on the same
page, it would be easy to tackle the security
challenges, so we have to keep holding summits,
because individual countries cannot combat
piracy effectively without cooperation.
“If you try to fight them in Togo, they go to the
next country, then you don’t have the mechanism
to go into the other countries. so summits are
necessary, they are not even sufficient.”
