“The Key issues in the Agenda of the summit include reports from Heads of State and Government; consideration and adoption of the Draft Legal Instruments; and reports on the State of Peace and Security in Africa.
“Nigeria is also expected to present a report on the stewardship of President Muhammadu Buhari, who was the champion of the African Anti-Corruption Year 2018,” he said.
According to him, the summit would also afford Nigeria the opportunity to interact with other countries from within and outside the continent on issues of common interest.
