LAGOS, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has called for accountability and good neighborliness in the sub-region and on the African continent.
The Nigerian leader made the call in a statement issued on Saturday after he met with the Economic Community of West African States President Marcel A. De Souza in Abuja, capital of Nigeria.
He commended the leadership of ECOWAS Commission for demanding accountability from its headquarters staff, which made it to invite Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to look into its books.
Nigeria would continue to fulfill its obligations to the sub-regional body, Buhari said.
Nigeria hosts the 52nd Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government on Dec. 16.
Buhari said he expected a formal report on the situation in Guinea Bissau at the meeting.
"We need our troops back home and I hope the President of that country will accept a constitutional way to resolve the situation there," he added.
