The much anticipated 61st Ordinary Session of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was held in Accra Sunday July 3, 2022.
While addressing Heads of Governments across the region, President Akufo-Addo urged West African leaders to go the extra mile to ensure the stability of the community and of its member states.
The ECOWAS Chairman expressed the Community’s gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria for co-ordinating the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the region.
Parts of the resolution saw ECOWAS on Sunday lift economic and financial sanctions imposed on Mali, after its military leaders proposed a 24-month transition to democracy and published a new electoral guideline.
