“We must therefore ensure that we meet the expectations and recommendations set forth by our ministers of defence and finance in order to counter the insecurity and stabilise our region. Member states must make extra commitments to providing resources for stabilising the region.”

This re-election solidifies President Tinubu’s position as a key leader in the regional bloc, as ECOWAS continues to address the pressing issues of terrorism and insecurity in the West African region.
