The Economic Community of West African States
(ECOWAS) Authority of Heads of State and Government, would in February,
2018, embark on a general overhauling of the ECOWAS Commission
structure.
The move, according to Daily Sun’s findings, is as a result of the current state of ineffectiveness of the commission.
The reorganisation would ensure that the ECOWAS Commission meets the mandate of the West African sub-regional body.
A highly competent source privy to the
development who spoke to Daily Sun on condition of anonymity, said the
overhauling was necessitated by the need to get the desired results and
mandate which necessitated the establishment ECOWAS.
The source added that the President of
Cote d’Ivoire, Alassane Ouattara, has always been very critical of the
present composition of the ECOWAS Commission structure and its
efficiency, believing that the commission was not yielding the desired
results.
The source added that it was no longer
news that ECOWAS is bedevilled by administrative ineffectiveness, but
was quick to add that hopefully in February, the commission would be
reorganised.
