The long awaited dream of having a single currency among the 15 member states of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) to facilitate smooth regional trade in 2020 has taken a huge step forward, with calls of proposal for a name and logo for the proposed single currency.

The idea of a single currency has been in the pipeline since 1983, when leaders of the sub-region met to discuss other issues as well as the integration of the regional economy. However, in 2009, after years of little progress concerning the adoption of a single currency, the regional body in 2009 adopted a roadmap, with the aim of creating the ECOWAS single currency in 2020.

Four years later, in 2013, ECOWAS established a taskforce to oversee the process of furthering the creation of the single currency, given the numerous delays.

The taskforce met in Accra this year and revised the timeline for achieving a single currency. In addition to ten other programs, the task force set 2020 as a deadline for selecting the name of the ECOWAS single currency.

According to the terms of reference published on the Central Bank of Liberia’s website, the competition is open to all citizens of ECOWAS member states free of charge, with winning prizes ranging from US$10,000, US$8,000, and US$5,000 respectively for proposal that comes first, second and third place.

“Accordingly, all proposals for currency name shall not be based on the name of a person, ethnic group or contain expressions directly linked with a religion, country or national institution, among others. On the other hand, the logo shall, among other things, symbolize unity and shared cultural and historical values of ECOWAS.

“Each competitor may submit only one proposal for the name of the currency and/or the logo of the currency. Each participant shall confirm that the proposal is his/her personal and exclusive work and that all resources and data used in the creation of the proposal do not and will never constitute an infringement of moral or, intellectual property rights or the rights of a third person or entity,” the term of reference said.

The term of reference said entries must be mailed to the ECOWAS Commission’s address in Nigeria by November 20, 2018.

Personally I don't suppose this idea of a common ecowas current Rather let each country maintain her currency but their values should be unified,I'm equally opposed to free movement of persons,my fear is the poor security capability n the prevailing security challenges especially in Nigeria,we need to be careful how we copy the Europeans considering our challenges.

ECOWAS should start using Naira as its common currency
Reasons:
1. the naira is relatively stable
2. Without Nigeria ECOWAS is dead
3. Nigerian economy is the largest on the continent

ECOWAS SHOULD RELAX THEIR POLICY OF CURRENCY UNION UNTIL NIGERIA IS RESTRUCTURED INTO A TRUE FEDERAL STATE.

You can not be talking about currency union when there is oppression and injustice in some of the member state of Ecowas.

Nigeria is yet to be properly restructured let alone talk about REGIONAL CURRENCY INTEGRATION.

Even if there is currency union it will be very difficult to work out as many of the West African states are so poor except countries like Ghana, Nigeria.

Many Chadians, Nigerien have illegally migrated through cross border movement of person and goods all in the name of ECOWAS to swell the Nigeria population and contributing to our economic challenge.

NIGERIA NEED A BREXIT FROM ECOWAS.

LET NIGERIA BE RESTRUCTURED TO A TRUE FEDERAL STATE WITH EACH REGION HAVING THEIR OWN ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE.

IF NORTHERN REGION CHOOSE TO JOIN ECOWAS IT IS THEIR OWN CHOICE.

With France still in control of most West Africa, it is a useless venture for Nigeria.
