President Bola Tinubu has approved the return of a delegation of Islamic leaders to Niger Republic for another round of dialogue with the coup leaders.

The President made the decision in his capacity as the Chairperson of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), after a meeting with the clerics led by Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who were in Niamey two weeks ago for dialogue with the junta led by General Abdourahamane Tiani.

Sheik Bala Lau, later spoke to State House correspondents after the meeting.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, equally reiterated President Tinubu’s commitment to dialogue as a way of the Niger situation.

ECOWAS envoy to Niger Republic and former Nigerian Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, upon return from the coup-torn country had said that his delegation’s meeting with Niger Republic coup leaders last weekend was fruitful.
