Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has called on West African leaders to operationalize the ECOWAS Standby Force to combat terrorism and promote peace and stability in the region. Speaking at the 67th ECOWAS Heads of State and Government Summit in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized the need for decisive action.

Tinubu’s call to action underscores the urgency of addressing security challenges in West Africa. By operationalizing the ECOWAS Standby Force, West African leaders can strengthen regional security and promote stability, ultimately fostering economic growth and development.
The operationalization of the ECOWAS Standby Force is crucial for enhancing regional security and combating terrorism. Tinubu’s leadership and call to action highlight the need for collective action and cooperation among West African nations to address common security challenges.
