President Muhammadu Buhari says regional cooperation is now needed more than ever to tackle the global threat of violent extremism.
The President said this on Saturday during at a bilateral meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, on the sidelines of the counter-terrorism summit hosted by the Jordanian leader in the coastal city of Aqaba.
According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, President Buhari stressed that inter-regional cooperation and information sharing were the only ways the evil of terrorism could be curtailed.
He also used the opportunity of the meeting to thank the Jordanian King for his constant support and assistance to Nigeria.
One of such assistance, according to him, was the recent donation of armoured vehicles and other military equipment to further bolster the war against terrorism and insurgency in the country.
In his remarks, King Abdullah II recommended broader measures, especially the use of cybersecurity to check the influence of terrorists.
