He left Abuja in the early hours of Monday, on board a presidential jet. The session is a follow-up to a week-long pre-summit activities involving ministers and other stakeholders. In one of such activities, Nigeria officially assumed the one-month rotational chairmanship of the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC). Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the AU, Bankole Adeoye, took over from Susan Sikaneta, the Permanent Representative of Zambia, who held the Presidency for the month of June. Adeyemo, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Addis Ababa, said he would focus on the implementation of AU’s Master Road Map of Practical Steps to Silence the Guns in Africa by 2020. He said, ”Essentially, Nigeria as chairperson of the Council will prioritise the open debate by the AU Member States on Child soldiers / out of school children in armed conflict situations.” The Peace and Security Council is the primary organ of the African Union, which is patterned along the UN Security Council, to enforce Union decisions, particularly in matters relating to maintenance of peace and security. Members of the Council are elected by the Assembly of the AU so as to reflect regional balance within Africa, as well as a variety of other criteria, including capacity to contribute militarily and financially to the Union. The Council is composed of 15 countries, of which five are elected to three-year term, and 10 to two-year term. The current members of the PSC are Nigeria, Algeria, Botswana, Burundi, Chad, Congo, Egypt, Niger, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Togo, Uganda and Zambia.
