The theme was about “Reducing vulnerabilities through partnerships.” A session was a stakeholders’ engagement on “Nigeria’s defence and security perspectives” and the second, on “Regional defence and security perspectives.” It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.Major General Adamu Luka, national coordinator of the Nigerian National Counter Terrorism Centre lamented that while West Africa, with diamond in Sierra Leone, gold in Ghana and oil in Nigeria, is a rich region, its people are very poor with 70 per cent of them below the poverty line.

Ambassador Kalilou Traore of Cote d’Voire presented what he called the worst and best case scenarios. In the first, he said the coup epidemic continues, with Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic finalising their withdrawal from ECOWAS, while some other countries are joining them, and terrorism continues, alongside the collapse of ECOWAS. In the best case scenario: coups are stopping, democratic elections are getting strengthened and ECOWAS is also strengthening.

Ambassador Abdel-Fatau Musah, the ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, submitted that: “It is not just ECOWAS, but the world that lacks leadership.” He said the body’s vision to move from the ECOWAS of States to the ECOWAS of the People, has gotten stuck in “the ECOWAS of States.”

He regretted that apart from the big powers, “medium forces,” especially from the Middle East, are beginning to interfere in Africa.
