Bala Salihu Dawakin kudu

The Nigerian Honourable Minister of Defence, H.E. Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, CON, mni, opened the 43rd Ordinary Meeting of the ECOWAS Committee of Chiefs of Defence Staff in Abuja with a call on member states to foster collaboration and solidarity in the face of emerging threats such as terrorism, organized crime, climate change, and other forms of criminality.

In his opening remarks, the Minister emphasized the urgent need for a unified approach to addressing the pressing security challenges facing the West African sub-region. He also highlighted the complexities of the current security landscape, noting that the rise of global populism and revisionist ideologies has heightened the vulnerability of the region. He asserted that economic growth and sustainable peace are intrinsically linked, urging member states to cooperate in confronting emerging threats, including terrorism, organized crime, climate change, cybercrime, and pandemics.

“The imperative for us in the sub-region is to strengthen our bond, and our collective resolve is greater now than ever,” Minister Badaru stated. “We must recognize that we are collectively as strong as our weakest link. It is essential that we close ranks against these threats and refocus our strategy to deny terror and insecurity a breeding ground.”

The Minister underscored the significance of the discussions planned for the meeting, which will focus on critical issues such as the ECOWAS Standby Force, Peace Support Operations, and Maritime Security in the Gulf of Guinea. He expressed confidence that the deliberations would be marked by collaboration, innovation, and a shared determination to craft sustainable strategies that address the region’s security needs.

Badaru also announced the activation of the ECOWAS Standby Force, a pivotal step in the collective fight against terrorism and insurgency, reinforcing the commitment of member states to ensure the safety and security of their citizens.

In conclusion, the Minister expressed profound gratitude to the Chiefs of Defence Staff for their unwavering dedication and professionalism in safeguarding the well-being of the people of West Africa. He urged all participants to approach the discussions with purpose and unity, recognizing the potential of their collective efforts to shape a more secure and prosperous future for the sub-region.
