President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Abuja to Equitorial Guinea on Monday.

President Buhari and President Mbasogo of Equitorial Guinea are
also expected to discuss and agree on other
collaborative measures to combat crimes such
as piracy, crude oil theft, attacks on oil rigs,
arms smuggling and human trafficking in the
Gulf of Guinea.

Both leaders will also confer on the
rescheduling of the joint summit of the
Economic Community of West African States
and the Economic Community of Central African
States on additional cooperative measures to
curb terrorism and violent extremism in West
and Central Africa.

The summit was to have been hosted by
Equatorial Guinea last year but was postponed
because of Nigeria’s general elections.
In accordance with the main focus and agenda
of the trip, President Buhari will be
accompanied by the Minister of Defence, Mansur
Dan-Ali, the National Security Adviser,
Babagana Monguno, and other senior security
officials.

He is scheduled to return to Abuja on Tuesday.
