The President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, on Tuesday called President Muhammadu Buhari to wish him well.
The Egyptian leader also congratulated the Nigerian President on the strides the country had made in the campaign against Boko Haram and other security challenges.
President el-Sisi, in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, also expressed the preparedness of his country to assist Nigeria in its quest to overcome security concerns, if needed.
He hoped that the two countries will continue to partner in other areas of mutual interest.
The statement also said that President Adama Barrow of The Gambia last Thursday, in a goodwill phone call to President Buhari, thanked Nigeria for its leading role in his emergence as President of Gambia, and wished the Nigerian leader well.
Similarly, on the same day last week, President Nana Akuffo-Addo of Ghana, called President Buhari to wish him good health and greater bilateral cooperation between the West African countries.
