President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the Chairman of the Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), has convened a meeting of the commission in N’Djamena, Chad.
The meeting which will take place on Thursday, November 29, was disclosed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, via a statement he circulated in Abuja on Wednesday.
The President of Benin Republic, a troops-contributing country, will attend the meeting.
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.
According to the statement, the meeting will review the security situation in the areas affected by Boko Haram insurgency.
He said it would also 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,’’ the statement added.
