The summit, aimed at addressing peace and stability challenges across Africa, will focus on strategies for conflict resolution and fostering lasting peace. Shettima, accompanied by senior defence and security officials, will deliver Nigeria's stance on these matters, reaffirming the country's dedication to peace. The African Union leaders and stakeholders will convene in Angola to explore practical solutions for regional security issues and enhance collective efforts in conflict prevention and resolution.
