Nigeria has made its first full payment of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) levy in 19 years, contributing N85.54 billion and $54 million for 2023 and part of 2024.

Omar Touray, president of the ECOWAS Commission, made the announcement during the 66th ordinary summit of ECOWAS in Abuja on Sunday.

He called the payment “a vote of confidence” in the organisation and a demonstration of Nigeria’s leadership in West Africa.

Touray also highlighted the importance of the payment, noting that it would ECOWAS efforts in regional integration and development.

The payment, made on December 13, 2024, marks a key moment in the relationship between Nigeria and ECOWAS.

Nigeria had struggled to meet its financial obligations to the regional body in previous years, but this move reflects a renewed commitment to the organisation.

At the summit, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is chairing the event, praised Nigeria’s role in the regional body.

The summit also addressed other pressing issues, including the withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger from ECOWAS, following military coups in those countries.

These nations have formed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), and leaders are now seeking ways to manage the situation diplomatically.

The summit is also focused on discussions regarding the proposed single currency for West Africa, the ECO, and ways to enhance economic cooperation among member states.

I Love Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Awesome!

Good, if it is not robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I just read that we have reduced our debt to IMF and now I am reading this.

This is in addition to PH refinery coming online, and many other good news we have been hearing in this quarter.

I have said it before and I will say it again...

By the time Tinubu is through with Nigeria, a lot of people will rush to be called agbadorians. Many neutrals will have no other choice than to thank those that saved them from the fake posture of lamba king whose only showing is doing cho cho cho.

Unredeemable haters however will always find something to hate and complain about.

None of the present politicians has the kind of brain, vision and boldness that Tinubu has. What I most like about him is that he is not playing to the gallery or doing photo ops.

Tinubu paid international flights companies their money 🤑
Paid CBN their money 🤑
ECOWAS money 🤑

Tinubu propaganda agents working overtime to whitewash Tinubu's disastrous istration that has plunged Nigeria into untold hardship and suffering, paying poverty inducing minimum wage while raising all manners of taxes and levies above the roof.

Call me when Tinubu pushes for and gets a law to make death penalty the punishment for public officials who engage in corrupt practices ed at the national assembly. That's when I'll know Tinubu is serious.

For now, everything is propaganda.

Useless government,
After impoverished your ppl, you come dey do father Christmas

After God na Tinubu


-Kiss the truth!

Some people will not be able with this.

If this is true

Then I am happy to hear that

@President Bola Tinubu is trying all his possible best though not enough

I wish you well Sir.
I still hope for the best.

😑

Government of misplaced priority.

Your citizens don't have security, public water and motorable roads but you can give over 150 billion to ECOWAS while begging worldbank and IMF for loans to fund your inflation inducing deficit budget

propaganda doesn't work on sane citizens.

Being the leader of ECOWAS, it helps to reposition the organization even better.
