He emphasised that a lackadaisical approach will not succeed and called for full participation from all.
As the immediate past chairman of ECOWAS, President Akufo-Addo emphasised that efforts to combat terrorism should extend beyond mere speeches to concrete actions and commitments.
He stressed the importance of tangible steps to address the issue effectively.
"Terrorism remains one of the most significant challenges facing Africa today and its consequences are felt across the continent, destabilising communities, undermining governance structures and obstructing socio-economic progress," President Akufo-Addo said.
The presence of leaders from Togo, Nigeria, and other neighbouring countries underscored a shared commitment to working together in the fight against terrorism.
