Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday called for more international collaboration to tackle terrorism, banditry and insurgency.

Buhari made the call at State House in Abuja, where he received Letters of Credence of the Canadian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Amb. James Christoff and the Ambassador of Mexico to Nigeria, Juan Oritz.

The Nigerian President pointed out the ongoing conflicts in the world, insecurity in the Sahel, and the threats to stability in some countries in West and Central Africa.

"Nigeria is not left out of the equation, as we are fighting to rid our country of banditry, kidnapping, herder/farmer crisis and insurgency," said Buhari.

"The world must, therefore, work closely together, and Nigeria counts on your support in cementing the relations between our countries at both bilateral and multilateral levels to surmount these global threats to civilization," he added.
