In his address to the August gathering, Nigeria's Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Hussein Adamu (who also serves as the chair of the council of ministers of
LCBC member states) observed that "in order to ensure coordination and harmonization of aid, with the clear aim of reconciling successful military operations with increasing civilian interventions, the need for a holistic regional strategic approach in the Lake Chad region has proved crucial in highlighting the mandate of
LCBC and [MNJTF]."
President Buhari, however, made it clear that the efforts of the member countries of the
LCBC would be more productive with international support.
UNESCO's Director General, Audrey Azoulay, represented by her deputy, Getachew Engida, reiterated that the organisation would continue to provide support and assistance to the efforts by
LCBC members.

The president, who hosted the Extra-Ordinary Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the
LCBC in Abuja on Saturday, recalled that the recent Summit of the leaders in N'Djamena, Chad, was imperative because of the need to overhaul the current strategy and concept of operations in the fight against the Boko Haram terrorists.
While in Chad, he will meet with Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno, Prime Minister Kalzeube Payimi Deubet, members of the Chadian Government, members of the committee of Technical and Financial Partners, and the leaders of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (
LCBC), which is headquartered in N'Djamena.
The
LCBC, an organization affiliated with the Beirut Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, was established in May with the aim of promoting Lebanese investment in Cuba.
