The meeting reaffirmed the institutions’ commitment to upholding the rule of law, strengthening cooperation and promoting regional integration.
The Vice-President of the ECOWAS Commission, Mr. Anthony Oluwatosin Ogunjimi, and the Commissioner for Internal Services, Dr Kalilou Sylla, attended the meeting.
Both institutions stressed that access to justice and the effective enforcement of the court’s judgments were essential to building public trust, promoting good governance and strengthening democratic principles across the region.
The ECOWAS Commission is also implementing strategic programmes aimed at deepening regional cohesion and removing barriers to integration.
The Initiatives align with the ECOWAS Vision 2050, which seeks to transform the community from an “ECOWAS of States” into an “ECOWAS of the People”, promoting peace, prosperity and greater participation by citizens across the region.
