Others were minister of defence, retired Brig Gen Mansur Dan Ali; national security adviser to the president, retired Maj Gen Babagana Monguno and the Nigerian charge d’Affaire, Nasiru Waje.

Buhari and other regional leaders would join their host and current chairperson of CEN-SAD Conference, President Idriss Deby Itno, to deliberate on political and security issues, among others.

A statement by presidential spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on Friday, April 12 said the leaders would deliberate on state of peace and ways to address multifaceted threats in CEN-SAD area, especially Boko Haram and refugees.

The leaders would make a declaration on the entry into force of CEN-SAD revised treaty intended to fast track the realisation of the objectives of the body.

“During the opening session of the conference, special awards will be given to heads of state and military contingents in Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Central African Republic and in the Lake Chad Basin,’’ Shehu further explained.

Created by the Treaty of Tripoli on February 4, 1998, with six founding members, Nigeria joined the current 29-member regional economic community in 2001.

The group seeks mainly to create a free trade area in Africa as well as to “strengthen peace, security and stability, and achieve global economic and social development of its members.”

Delegations from 22 member-countries are expected at the extraordinary meeting of CEN-SAD holding at the Radisson Blu Hotel, N’Djamena.

Sudan which is a member of CEN-SAD may not be represented at the meeting following socio-political uncertainties in the country caused by the removal of President Omar Al-Bashir from office by the Sudanese military on Thursday, April 11.

Al-Bashir, had earlier indicated interest to attend the CEN-SAD meeting holding from Friday, April 12 to Saturday, April 13.
