Amb. Yusuf Tuggar, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chairman of ECOWAS Council of Ministers, has urged member states to effectively implement the resolutions reached at its 94th Ordinary Session in Abuja.
The minister gave the charge in a closing remark at the end of the 94th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Council of Ministers on Friday night in Abuja.
The two-day meeting brought together ambassadors, permanent representatives, ECOWAS commissioners, heads of institutions, and resident representatives, among others, to discuss various sub-regional issues.
Among the issues discussed by the council was the need for member states to bolster their unity and economic exchange across the ECOWAS, the subregion, toward achieving its economic growth and prosperity.
Tuggar said that the council had already set a clear and promising course toward achieving a more unified and prosperous subregion through their continued collaboration and shared commitment.
The minister also emphasised that the resolutions reached demonstrated the council members’ collective resolve to address the pressing challenges confronting the ECOWAS bloc.
He lauded their dedication to ECOWAS’ shared vision and core principles of regional cooperation, adding that it had been deeply inspiring.
He also lauded the ECOWAS Commission for preparing the comprehensive working documents that guided and enriched the council’s deliberations and yielded positive results during the session.
He expressed the hope that the same cooperation would be extended to whoever would take over the leadership of this council from him.
