President Bola Tinubu has been re-elected as chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of States and Government.
The tenure spans one year.
Tinubu, whose first tenure is to elapse on July 9, 2024, was elected by a unanimous decision of fellow Heads of Government at the 65th ordinary session of the Authority held at the State House, Abuja on Sunday.
Accepting the role, Tinubu said, “I have accepted to continue to deliver on this service with the great men and women on this democratic journey, to serve our interest and build democratic values on the structure we inherited.”
