Airborne again! Buhari to hit Equatorial Guinea for Malabo Summit

Nigeria - President Muhammadu Buhari will attend the 4th Africa-Arab Summit starting on Wednesday in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.

The summit, which will be attended by Heads of State and Government from Gulf and African countries, is expected to endorse the Malabo Declaration and Action Working Plan for 2017-2019 to promote trade and economic ties.

The two-year plan seeks to implement priority projects in trade, investment, transportation, communication and energy in Africa.

A statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, said Buhari will also hold discussions with Arab leaders, aimed at reviewing agreements to strengthen partnerships and bolster agriculture and infrastructure development in Nigeria through long term concessionary loans and technological skills transfer.

He will also explore the opportunity of the summit to seek support for the ongoing fight against Boko Haram and the humanitarian situation in the North east.

Jointly organised by the African Union Commission and the League of Arab States, the summit focuses on promoting development by strengthening trade, investments, transport, communication and energy among Gulf and African states.
