Mahama, Chairman of ECOWAS, said the meeting would also proffer strategies to end terrorist activities of Boko Haram.
``ECOWAS has a common anti-terrorism strategy, and so, as Chair of ECOWAS, I have been speaking to other member heads of state and they believe that we should activate that anti-terrorism strategy.
``We are looking to call a meeting of our joint intelligence chiefs in Accra next week, and we are inviting Cameroon and Chad to join so that together we can see how we can eliminate this security threat to the sub-region,’’ he added.
