Terrorism: Jonathan, Other African Leaders To Meet In Nairobi

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will travel to Nairobi tomorrow to
participate in a meeting of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council
scheduled to hold in the Kenyan capital on Tuesday.

The Nairobi meeting, which is a follow-up to talks by President Jonathan
and other African leaders at Pretoria, South Africa in May this year on
joint action against terrorism, will receive and consider the report of
the Chairperson of the African Union Commission on Terrorism and Violent
Extremism in Africa.

Deliberations at the Nairobi Summit and the adoption of the African
Chairperson’s Report by President Jonathan, President Uhuru Kenyatta and
other participating Heads of State are expected  lead to more
collaborative actions by Nigeria and other African countries to rid the
continent of acts of terrorism and violent extremism.

The President, who will be accompanied to the Nairobi Summit by the
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Nurudeen Mohammed, the National
Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) as well as other advisers and
aides will return to Abuja at the conclusion of the meeting on Tuesday.
