Nana Addo Chairs Accra Initiative

On Tuesday, 22nd November 2022, President Nana Akufo-Addo chaired the maiden high-level counter-terrorism conference of the Accra Initiative, held in Accra.

The Initiative currently comprises seven nations of the region, notably the Republics of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Niger and Togo, with the Federal Republic of Nigeria set to become a full member of the Initiative.

The Accra Initiative, President Akufo-Addo noted on his facebook page, “ at a relatively young stage in its evolution, has successfully demonstrated the imperatives of inter-governmental co-operation and collaboration toward mounting a strong fight against the spread of terrorism and violent extremism from the Sahel region to coastal West Africa.”
