Contained in a statement signed on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the summit will deliberate on common security threats to countries in West Africa and members of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), with a view to forging concerted strategies in tackling the menace of terrorism, trans-border crimes and other forms of violent extremism.
The President had earlier pledged his support for the proposed ECOWAS/ECCAS Summit when he received the current Chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Faure Gnassingbe of Togo on June 29, 2018 in Katsina.

“Terrorism now transcends international boundaries, and no country can combat the scourge alone”, he observed.
