Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting peace, security, and democratic governance across Africa through stronger collaboration with the African Union.
This was on the sidelines of the AU Executive Council meeting between Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and the AU Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, Bankole Adeoye in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The Minister thanked the AU Commissioner for his role in facilitating the European Union’s 21 million dollar support to the Multinational Joint Task Force.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Adeoye commended Nigeria for its 22 years of outstanding contributions to the AU Peace and Security Council, and urged the country to sustain its leadership role in conflict prevention and regional diplomacy.
Discussions also focused on the security situation in the Sahel, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Sudan, and preparations for the forthcoming Extraordinary Session of the AU Assembly in Angola.
The Commissioner also highlighted AU efforts to strengthen Africa’s peace architecture through the AU Peace Fund and the new African Institute for Democratic Governance.
Both parties agreed to deepen cooperation in mediation, capacity building, and the use of Artificial Intelligence in conflict prevention, in line with the aspirations of Agenda 2063.
