President Goodluck Jonathan on May 12, 2014, Monday, departed from Abuja to the capital city of the Republic of Congo, Oyo, for a two-day official visit.

Jonathan plans to consult with his Congolese counterpart, President Denis Sassou Nguesso, on multiple issues, including the current security situation in West and Central Africa. The consultations are necessary due to the upcoming meeting of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council which starts in Congo on May 14, 2014, Wednesday.

The two presidents, in a joint communique signed at the end of the visit, demanded an unconditional release of abducted GGSS Chibok students, as well as liberation of all other hostages being in Boko Haram captivity.

The president returns to Nigeria on May 13, 2014, Tuesday.
