In a significant development, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria has been re-elected as the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for an additional year. This decision was made at the 63rd Ordinary Summit in Abuja, where leaders and representatives from ECOWAS’ 12 member states gathered.

Tinubu’s re-election comes with a new mandate to reintegrate Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso into the regional bloc. These countries have recently faced political instability and challenges, leading to their exit from ECOWAS. To achieve this goal, Tinubu has appointed President Bassirou Faye of Senegal as Special Envoy of the ECOWAS Commission, alongside Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar.
