COVID-19 dans les deux pays voisins.       an opportunity for both countries to show
                                           strength and solidarity towards the attainment
                                           of a common goal. This adds to efforts realised
                                           within the Multinational Joint Task Force
                                           (MNJTF) to combat the Boko Haram insurgency.

                                           Collaboration is also needed in the management
                                           of refugees. Cameroon is host to Nigerians
                                           who fled from the atrocities of the Boko Haram
                                           terrorist group, while Nigeria is providing shelter
                                           to Cameroonians from the North-West and
                                           South-West Regions due to the socio-political
                                           crisis in these regions. The safe repatriation of
                                           these refugees for the restoration of normalcy is
                                           a matter of concern to the two leaders.
