Nigeria is set to host the Africa Chiefs of Defence Staffs summit in Abuja, as part of its commitment to bolstering military cooperation across the continent.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, announced this when he inaugurated the committee to work out modalities for the maiden edition of the summit slated for June in Abuja.
He said the upcoming summit is expected to bring together top military brass from across Africa, describing it as a defining moment for Nigeria as a leading force in Africa’s defence and security landscape.
Musa urged members of the committee to engage relevant agencies, units and individuals whose contributions, he said, would be instrumental to the success of this summit.
He expressed optimism that the committee’s efforts would lay the foundation for a summit meant to strengthen cooperation, enhance defence ties and Nigeria’s leadership in military diplomacy across the continent.
According to him, effective communication and feedback mechanisms must be established to ensure seamless coordination.
