President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari, in his capacity as Chairman of the
Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Lake Chad Basin
Commission (LCBC), has convened a consultation of Heads of State and
Government of the LCBC scheduled to take place in N’Djamena, Chad, on
November 29, 2018.
The one-day meeting will review the security situation in the areas
affected by Boko Haram insurgency and adopt measures to enhance the
capacity of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to meet the
challenges of securing the areas.
The presidents of the LCBC member countries of Chad, Cameroon,
Niger, and the Central African Republic have been invited to attend the
meeting. The President of Benin Republic, a troops-contributing country,
has also been invited to attend.
The MNJTF and the national operations of the affected countries
have appreciably degraded the capacity of Boko Haram terrorists,
although the insurgents still retain the capacity to attack isolated
targets in desperate search for supplies.
