He further stated on Thursday that incremental progress has been made in the fight against terrorism and other trans-border crimes.

Buhari warned against the efforts of terrorists to expand their operations and footholds in West Africa.

The Nigeria leader affirmed the commitment of Nigeria to bilateral, as well as multilateral initiatives with Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

Buhari, while speaking on the French version of his biography, expressed hope that it would inspire emerging leaders to believe in “hard work, integrity and patriotism”.

At the event were President Mohamed Bazoum, President Umaro Sissoco Embaló of Guinea Bissau, Chad leader General Mahamat Idriss, and ex-Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou.

Speaking on the road named after Buhari, Senior Special Assistant on media and publicity to the President, Garba Shehu said, “President Buhari has a strong respect for our neighbours, and he understands the essence of neighbourliness. Before this administration, some of these countries complained that they were not even being talked to by Nigerian leadership.
