“To mark this moment and strengthen regional bonds, Ghana is offering 1000 scholarships to tertiary students from across the ECOWAS sub-region to study in our universities.

“This is not just a gesture, it is an act of solidarity, it is a brace to a future where our young people will grow up seeing each other not as foreigners but partners,” the President said.

President Mahama stressed that unity and solidarity should be the guide on how ECOWAS manages insecurity and diversity amongst members as it looks up to its century celebration.

President Mahama reaffirmed Ghana’s unwavering commitment to the ECOWAS mission and to the values of dialogue, peace and partnerships that sustains it.

President Mahama called for ECOWAS to be positioned not only as a political and economic bloc but as a diplomatic anchor for the continent, a model of integration dialogue and peaceful co-existence.
