On October 6, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and President of Senegal, visited the ECOWAS Parliament in Abuja. He was welcomed by the Speaker of the Parliament, Rt.
Hon. Mémounatou Ibrahima, and other senior officials. Faye underscored the importance of a stronger ECOWAS Parliament and greater citizen representation for advancing regional integration and unity in West Africa.
He described the Parliament as the “hub of regional dialogue” and highlighted its role in promoting institutional cooperation and citizen participation. Faye assured the lawmakers of his support and emphasized that regional integration should be pursued alongside efforts to prevent conflicts and promote stability.
