Arising from the meeting, a communique was issued which includes inter alia; a call to the Executive Secretary of LCBC to continue in the advocacy of mobilizing finance resources to support the development actions in a bid to guarantee peace and security in the region.

In view of the substantial accumulation of arrears of contributions by member countries, the Commissioners were encouraged to take all necessary measures with their respective Governments to clear the arrears.

At the end of the meeting, the Action plan was adopted and the Executive Secretary and Experts from member countries were instructed to take all measures for its effective implication.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Water Resources, Dr. Musa Ibrahim, said that the International Conference on saving Lake Chad was organized to create global awareness on the socio-economic challenges arising from the shrinking of the Lake. “The roadmap to be deliberated upon has been prepared with a view to developing a comprehensive programme of action to save the lake from extinction”, he said.

The communique was signed by representatives of five member countries namely: The Republic of Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Niger, Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Chad Republic. Libya was not represented.
