President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday received at State House, Abuja, the new President of the ECOWAS Commission, and his Management Team, telling them the kind of sub-regional body West African leaders desire, and must have. 

The President told Dr Omar Alieu Touray, the new President, and the delegation: “I wish you success in your assignments, which we hope can collectively drive our sub-region to one that is economically integrated, politically stable, and socially in harmony with itself, to the admiration of our continent, and, indeed, global community. 

“That is the ECOWAS we desire, and must have. You cannot afford to disappoint us.” 

The President said as the host of the ECOWAS Commission, Nigeria expects that the scrupulous processes that led to the new appointments “would impact on the fortunes of our Organisation in terms of efficient and effective service delivery that bears positive impact on the lives of our citizens.” 

He added that when the founding fathers met on 28th May, 1975, to establish ECOWAS, what was uppermost on their minds was the promotion of economic cooperation between the member-States in order to raise the living standards of citizens hence driving the economic development of the sub-region in an integrated manner. 

President Buhari further noted: “Forty-seven years after, this core objective for the formation of ECOWAS remains critically relevant to our national and sub-regional aspirations. Issues of inter-state cooperation and collaboration, harmonisation of policies, integration of programmes, conflict management and security of the sub-region, have continued to necessitate the need for our solidarity and collective responses to our common challenges, such as climate change, terrorism, health issues, good governance and the sustainability of democracy anchored on rule of law and ultimately, development and progress for our citizens.” 

He told the new Management Team that citizens of ECOWAS must directly feel the impact of the organization through people-oriented programmes and projects that include effective advocacy around core issues of concerns to the sub-region. 

“May I emphasize the importance of team-work and the necessity for the new Team to work assiduously to re-position ECOWAS in order to deliver to the expectations of our citizens through a careful fine-tuning of our sub-region’s development agenda 2050, that is guided by the African Union Agenda 2063, and conscious of the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. 

“With many Development Experts on your Team, I have no doubt that you will evolve appropriate partnerships and working relationships with Development Partners across the globe, to maximise opportunities for progress,” President Buhari submitted. 

Dr Alieu Touray thanked Nigeria for the support she gave to the candidature of the new Team members, pledging that they would live up to the expectations of West African leaders, “as we are fully conscious of the priorities set for us.” 

He said they would work with member-States to pursue their objectives, “and make ECOWAS institutions what you want them to be.”

I will never be part of people abusing this man of honour President Buhari. The trap PDP set for APC while handling over power was so deadly and huge. The economy was in shambles, security was in comatose and things were just so rotten in all spheres of life but wasn't so obvious but it was already a keg of gun powder. Buhari tried his best, it was just unfortunate that many of us populace couldn't see beyond emotion, coupled with the havoc Coronavirus created worldwide. Every country is facing the economy meltdown. We will all appreciate this man after leaving office.

2023 ! Come quick

When ECOWAS was formed, Nigeria was a Big Brother and other member States aim to gain from the all round growth of Nigeria and all wants to associate with Nigeria.

At the moment ehen, dem dey see Naija as nothing. Buhari eeh, practice what you preach, please.

Let's make the right decision and be on the right path.

Great minds make a lot of sacrifices. Don't envy a successful man without the back-up plan to do what he did to be successful.

From script or direct talk

If hypocrisy was a person then it is bubu


Imagine this gibberish coming from someone who should have been hiding himself from men of integrity

R

Lol

Na so..

Listen to me, we’re tired of all these talk, buhari should just step down for Peter Obi once and for all make we see road clearly

President of Niger Republic and Northern Nigeria

I can't believe Femi adeshina for once

Can somebody tell President Buhari that SECURITY of life and prosperities is of the utmost important for any Economy to thrive.
Meanwhile he has been handling the security situations of Nigeria with disdain.

It so worrisome.

Back then if we wanted to travel from Lagos to the Northern part of the Country, we do prefer night journey. But traveling in the day light now from Lagos to even Ibadan or Ondo is like not so easy. Talkless of going to Kogi State, Niger State or Abuja, Kano and Keduna; talkless of going to Maiduguri.

But alas, the Nigeria we deserve you can’t deliver.

If FAILURE was a picture

I am sure Geoffrey Onyema wrote the line for him.

Mr Shocker is too dull to create a catching phrase.
