A statement made available in London said Sharma and the Commonwealth community also expressed its sympathy to those affected by the “dreadful attacks”.
It stated that the Commonwealth would stand in solidarity with the Nigerian government “as it mourns the loss of its citizens and works to address the challenges posed by terrorism, extremism and insecurity in the country.
“The Commonwealth's shared view is that conflict and differences should be resolved, and indeed, can only be resolved sustainably through inclusive dialogue built on the foundations of mutual understanding and respect,” it stated
The statement said that the perpetrators of the “despicable crime” had shown callous disregard for the lives of their fellow citizens and for the peace, stability and progress of the country
