President Bola Tinubu is set to inaugurate the African Counter-Terrorism Summit in Abuja on Monday, April 22, according to a statement released by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.

Ngelale disclosed that Nigeria, in collaboration with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), is hosting the high-level summit under the theme, ‘Strengthening Regional Cooperation and Institution Building to Address the Evolving Threat of Terrorism’. The event is scheduled from April 22 to April 23.

The objective of the summit, as highlighted by Ngelale, is to bolster multilateral counter-terrorism cooperation and reshape the collective response of the international community to terrorism in Africa. Emphasis will be placed on promoting African-led and African-owned solutions to combat terrorism.

“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,” Ngelale stated.

Among the distinguished attendees, Ms. Amina Mohammed, the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, is slated to participate in the event.
