President Muhammadu Buhari today held a closed–door meeting with
President Roch Marc Christian Kabore of Burkina Faso at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja.
President Kabore, who arrived the presidential villa at about 3.10p.m,
was received at the forecourt of the villa by President Buhari.
NAN reports that though the agenda of the meeting between the Nigerian
leader and the visiting president was unknown, the two leaders are
expected to deliberate on some regional and continental matters
including the Nigeria’s border land closure.
NAN reports that the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government
had on Feb. 9 constituted a committee, headed by President Kabore of
Burkina Faso, to study and make a full report on Nigeria’s land border
closure with her neighbours.
The decision to set up the committee, according to Malam Garba Shehu,
the President’s spokesman, was agreed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, at an
extraordinary session of ECOWAS leaders convened on the margins of the
33rd AU Summit to discuss the issue and other pressing regional matters.
Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, told journalists after the
three-hour closed door session that the meeting was attended by
President Buhari and chaired by the ECOWAS Chairman, President Mahamadou
Issoufou of Niger Republic.
