85 Billion debt paid to ECOWAS

Nigeria has paid its accrued debt owed to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to the tune of #85 billion.
President of the ECOWAS Commission, Omar Touray, disclosed this in his statement at the opening of the 66th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government in Abuja.
He said while the community had suffered slow response from member states in remitting their levies, Nigeria under the leadership of President Tinubu had cleared its levies from 2023 to date.
According to Touray, this is the first time in 19 years that Nigeria will pay 100% of its ECOWAS levy.
The ECOWAS President also lauded the efforts of President Bola Tinubu, the Federal Government of Nigeria for always supporting the efforts of the regional body.
