Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and Central African Community are working out more concrete strategy to be unfolded soon towards ridding African countries of Boko Haram insurgency.

President of Republic of Congo, Denis Sassou N’gueso and President of Republic of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Nguema, spoke yesterday after a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at International Airport, Abuja.

N’gueso, who briefed journalists in French in company of Jonathan and his Equatorial Guinea counterpart, Nguema, disclosed that they came to Nigeria having been mandated by Heads of State of Central African Community to share views with Jonathan on the way to stamp out terrorism.

He said they are going to report back to Chairman of ECOWAS, President John Mahama of Ghana, with whom they would review the situation and come out with security strategy.

“We are here because we have been mandated by Heads of State of Central African Community to come here and show our solidarity to the people and government of Nigeria as well as our brother and friend, President Goodluck Jonathan.

“We are also on mission to Accra after here to meet with President John Mahama of Ghana, who is Chairman of ECOWAS. We would study the situation together and put in place security architecture to see how we can coordinate all our actions to put out and eradicate Boko Haram insurgency, which has been spreading in very grave manner.

“We look forward to peace, security and development in Africa. We have met with our friend, Jonathan. We would have another meeting with Mahama. We have no doubt that we would collectively utilise all political, military and diplomatic actions and mobilise all our actions in all fronts to degrade and eradicate Boko Haram.

“We have no doubt that we have arrived at a mechanism for coordinating all our actions towards effectiveness.”

N’gueso added that Africa is confronting two challenges – Ebola Virus Disease, which is affecting basically countries in West Africa including Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone and activities of terrorists, Boko Haram is generally affecting countries in sub-Saharan Africa and northern Africa, which include Nigeria, Chad and Cameroun.

He, however, expressed hope that they would come up with more effective action plan against Boko Haram and ensure peace and security across African continent.
