Buhari urges stronger ties to end terrorism

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday urged world leaders to strengthen relationships across borders and ensure intelligence sharing in order to curb the growing sophistication in global terrorism.

He made the call while receiving the Egyptian Ambassador to Nigeria, Aseem Muhammed Hanafi Elseify, at the State House, Abuja.

According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, President Buhari said recent attacks in United Kingdom and other developed nations, clearly showed a need for stronger global collaboration and review of security architectures across countries.

The President noted that the Boko Haram attacks within West African countries and across the borders were brought under control after concerted efforts by leaders to ensure joint operations.

“Clearly the threat of global terrorism is getting more sophisticated by the day so we need leaders to work together to stop the attacks,’’ he said.

President Buhari said bilateral relations between Nigeria and Egypt in education, training and trade had been historical, urging the new ambassador to work towards expanding and deepening the scope of the relationship.

In his remarks, the envoy said building partnership to tackle the security challenges faced by both countries would be one of his priorities.
