That is the ECOWAS we desire, and must have. You cannot afford to disappoint us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The president in a statement by his special adviser on media, Femi Adesina said as the host of the ECOWAS commission, Nigeria expects that the scrupulous processes that led to the new appointments \u201cwould 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buhari further noted: \u201cForty-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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;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\u2019s development agenda 2050, that is guided by the African Union Agenda 2063, and conscious of the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 2030.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWith 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,\u201d President Buhari submitted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari has received at State House in Abuja, the new president of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) commission, Dr Omar Alieu Touray and his management&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":98000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
