AU Must Be Reformed To Stay Relevant, Says Buhari – Channels Television

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has called for a reform of the structures and operations of the African Union, to allow it function more in meeting targets, adding that the organization would become stale, except it becomes more result-oriented, Njenje Media News reports.

The President said this at the Virtual two-day Summit of the AU, the 34th edition.

He said;

“As your excellences are no doubt aware, global realities demand that the AU be overhauled if it must remain relevant in intergovernmental processes. We must work concertedly to ensure a productive, self-sufficient, and purpose driven organization that will fully serve the interests of the people.

“As we commence the operationalization of this new structure and system, Nigeria demands a truly reformed, efficient, and effective AU Commission, one that is fully committed to the discharge of its duties and responsibilities.’’
President Buhari commended President Paul Kagame of Rwanda for presenting a special report on the need to reform the AU.

The President also appreciated the support of Heads of State and Government of the African Union in the election of Amb. Bankole Adeoye as Commissioner, Political Affairs, Peace and Security.

President Buhari notes, with gratitude, the overwhelming and historic endorsement of the ambassador with 55 votes, an indication that all the members voted while congratulating the career diplomat, who also serves as Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the AU and UNECA.

President Buhari urges Amb. Adeoye to deploy his knowledge and experience in foreign policy and diplomacy, particularly on bilateral and multilateral issues, to bring value to the new position, with an assurance of the country’s support.
