The Nigerian government has called for stronger commitment to the implementation of the peace process in South Sudan while assuring that the it will remain steadfast in following up to ensure that the country regains stability.
President Muhammadu Buhari made the promise on Monday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
Receiving the Letter of Credence of the Ambassador of the Republic of South Sudan, Mr Paul Akaro, at the State House, President Buhari said delay in implementing the peace accord had affected the development of the country in spite of the lofty potentials for growth.
“I was a little disappointed with the subsequent developments in your country. I was hoping that we can move forward and develop the great potentials of your country after the peace accord.
“The African Union will continue to hold your leaders to account in implementing the peace process. And the leaders should be able to accommodate one another for the good of your people,” the President said.
President Buhari told the ambassador that the peace process would be most effective when accepted and implemented by leaders from within the country, without external interventions.
