The Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS at its 59th Ordinary session in Accra re-elected President Akufo-Addo as Chairman for another one-year term.
Issues discussed include integration efforts, the COVID-19 situation, peace, security and democracy in the region, the political situation in Mali, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and border issues.
This was contained in a communique issued at the end of the summit in Accra. President Akufo-Addo was first elected Chairman in September, last year to succeed President Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger.
The Accra meeting expressed appreciation to President Akufo-Addo for his leadership in steering the affairs of the community.
The next ordinary session has been slated for Abuja, Nigeria on December 18 this year.
