ABUJA—PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari and the Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, yesterday met at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina stated that President Buhari and his guest also discussed the recharge of Lake Chad with water from the Congo Basin to provide succor to the more than 30 million people adversely affected by the shrinkage of the lake over the years.
“We need help with the recharge of Lake Chad, as it is not a project that the concerned countries can handle alone,” President Buhari said, adding: “Recharging the lake will bring back fishing, farming, animal husbandry, and the youths won’t be attracted by insurgency or illegal migration. We want Qatar to be involved because of the humanitarian nature of the endeavor.”
