We Should All Secure Our Countries – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, stressed the need for peace, tranquillity, and security across the African continent.

He made the remark when he received a special envoy of the Algerian Foreign Minister, Sabri Boukadoum, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

“Unless you secure your environment, you can’t manage it well,” a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, quoted the President as saying.

He added, “We should all secure our countries, because if we don’t, what do we then bequeath to the next generation? We can’t grow or develop in an insecure environment.”

He stated that projects like the Trans-Sahara road, international gas pipelines, and other areas of economic cooperation would be given adequate attention for the good of the people of the two countries.

The special envoy, on his part, described Nigeria as the pillar of Africa.

He also told President Buhari that he had brought messages from his President, “so that we consult, and see what we can do together.”
