A French version of Buhari's biography
The president's biography titled; 'Muhammadu Buhari: the Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria', was launched after inaugurating a 3.8km length and 160m wide Boulevard named after him by the Government of Niger Republic.
Buhari said:
‘‘My remarks will not be complete if I did not mention the escalating volatilities and multiplicity of threats across our region of West Africa and the Sahel.
‘‘The ever-evolving nature of the threats we face underlines the need for enhanced coordination. There is no doubt that we have made incremental progress in our collective fight against terrorism and other trans-border crimes.
‘‘However, a lot remains to be done, especially in the face of renewed efforts by violent extremist groups to expand their operations and footholds in West Africa."
The president described the relationship between Nigeria and Niger as a true one, characterized by shared history, values and tradition. His words:
"No wonder our people are able to coexist peacefully across our shared border, which spans over 1500 kilometres, and we remain the best of brothers and neighbours."
