Delegates from member states of the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) are arriving at the Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja, for the 67th Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government.
The meeting comes six months after the last one held in December 2024, during which the bloc approved the exit of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger from the regional bloc.
It also coincides with President Tinubu’s end to his second term as Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS.
President Tinubu was re-elected on July 7, 2024, for a second term after his first tenure which began in July 9, 2023.
