Tinubu Bows Out, Sierra Leone’s President Steps In as ECOWAS Chair

In a significant development in West African regional politics, Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio has emerged as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

 

President Bola Tinubu who resumed as Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS  on July 9, 2023, after his election in Guinea-Bissau, hosted his last meeting on Sunday as the leader of the sub-regional bloc.

 

As the new chairman, President Bio is expected to bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the role, building on the foundation laid by his predecessor.

 

ECOWAS, established in 1975, aims to promote economic integration and cooperation among its 15 member states.

 

The organisation’s objectives include creating a single market, enhancing trade, and fostering economic development in the region.

 

The new chairman will face several challenges that border on regional integration, security and economic development.

 

As the new chairman, President Bio’s leadership will be critical in navigating the complex issues facing the region.

 

The transition of power from President Tinubu to President Bio is expected to be smooth, with President Tinubu having served his two-year term as chairman.

 

The new chairman will work closely with the ECOWAS Commission and member states to advance the organisation’s goals.
