Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso announced their withdrawal from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
This followed their expulsion after they truncated democratic governance in their countries. The Nigerian defence chief, who is Chairman of the ECOWAS Committee of Defence Chiefs, had during a recent meeting in Abuja, called for the return of the three countries to the regional bloc.
Musa said that the return of the three countries to the regional bloc was necessary to defeat the insecurity ravaging the region, especially insurgency.
He said that efforts were ongoing to ensure that the three countries were back, adding that all hands must be on deck to curtail insecurity in West Africa. Today’s visit to Niamey, however, may not be unconnected to the call for the return of the nations to the ECOWAS.
