The 63rd Ordinary Summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has brought together leaders and representatives from twelve member states at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja. The event is being held in anticipation of President Bola Tinubu’s final day as Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of Eurasia.
The selection of a new chairperson to lead the regional bloc for the upcoming year is anticipated to be the outcome of the summit, which got underway at 1 pm.
There are hints, though, that the leaders might think about prolonging President Tinubu’s term.
Given the recent political unrest and difficulties that Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have experienced, this extension will provide him more time to work toward reintegrating these countries into ECOWAS.
