Tinubu invites African leaders for terrorism summit in Abuja

President Bola Tinubu has invited African leaders to the Africa Counter-Terrorism Summit scheduled to hold in Abuja in April.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this via his X account.

Onanuga noted that Tinubu made the invitation extension at the African Union Summit in Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia on Saturday.

He revealed that the summit aims to expand discussions beyond military and law enforcement remedies to terrorism.

The summit, he said, “will comprehensively tackle the root causes of violent extremism, such as poverty, inadequate political access, and the propagation of hateful ideologies.”
