President Muhammadu Buhari says Nigeria will encourage and support every move that will enhance economic cooperation between her and the Republic of Algeria.

President Buhari stressed the need for peace, tranquillity and security in African countries, saying; “unless you secure your environment, you can’t manage it well. 

He said Africans should all secure their countries, because if they don’t, they may not have enough to bequeath to the next generation.

He advocated adequate security within Africa as the continent he said can’t grow or develop in an insecure environment.
