President Jonathan, African Leaders To Meet In Nairobi

President Goodluck Jonathan will travel to Nairobi on Monday to participate in a meeting of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council in the Kenyan capital on Tuesday, a State House press statement has said.
The Nairobi meeting, a follow-up to talks by President Jonathan and other African leaders in South Africa in May on joint action against terrorism, will receive and consider the report of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission on Terrorism and Violent Extremism in Africa.

Deliberations at the Nairobi Summit and the adoption of the African Chairperson’s Report by President Jonathan, President Uhuru Kenyatta and other participating Heads of State are expected to lead to more collaborative actions by Nigeria and other African countries to rid the continent of acts of terrorism and violent extremism.

Mr. Jonathan will be accompanied to the Nairobi Summit by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Nurudeen Mohammed, the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.), as well as other advisers and aides.

He will return to Abuja at the conclusion of the meeting on Tuesday.
