Nigeria has urged member states of the Gulf of Guinea Commission to work closely and come up with measures to combat the insecurity in the region.
The Federal Government also urged the Member States to show commitment to their financial obligation toward the commission.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Zubairu Dada made the call in Abuja at the 11th Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers of the Gulf of Guinea Commission, GGC.
He said that the collective quest to address the security challenges in the region required member countries to put in place measures to check the violation of domestic and international treaties in the region.
The Minister recalled that in November 2017, while taking the mantle of leadership of the organisation, Nigeria called for renewed commitments on the part of member states to make the Gulf of Guinea Region a zone of peace and security.
Also speaking, Executive Secretary, Gulf of Guinea Commission, Florentina Ukonga said that the experts had worked very hard to come up with recommendations to encourage participation of member states in the Commission’s activities.
