President Muhammadu Buhari said as long as Libya remained unstable, the proliferation of arms and the problems in the Sahel would continue.

The President spoke in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, during a bilateral meeting with President Salva Kiir of South Sudan.

On the situation in Guinea and Mali, Buhari said African leaders must support efforts geared towards the return of democracy in the countries.

On his meeting, he expressed the readiness of Nigeria to extend a helping hand to South Sudan towards political and economic stability.

He assured the full support of Nigeria to all efforts to bring long-term stability and prosperity to the continent.

‘‘Nigeria will contribute its quota as much as possible to the development of South Sudan. Take us into confidence and ask us what we can do,’’ the President told the South Sudanese leader in a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina.

Buhari, while stressing the need for cooperation among developing countries, said with investments in education, improved economy, and healthcare, things will surely improve.

In his remarks, President Kiir, who acknowledged Nigeria’s leadership role in Africa, appreciated the country’s effort in the liberation struggle of South Sudan.

He also commended the First Lady of Nigeria for assisting in the education of many South Sudanese girls in the country.

Buhari and Kiir were among several African leaders that attended the inauguration ceremony of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia for a second five-year term in office.
