Elias-Fatile said the summit is tagged,“Winning the Fight Against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation.”

He added that the 2017 Ordinary Session on Anti-Corruption endorsed Buhari to champion AU anti-corruption for 2018, adding that the endorsement was as a result of the remarkable achievements recorded by the Buhari-led administration against corruption.

“It is going to be very engaging and a defining moment for Nigeria as Africa and the global community will be looking up to Nigeria to provide a commitment and the needed leadership.
