Tinubu Vows to Stabilize ECOWAS

President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his resolve to stabilise the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, and contribute to peace in Africa.

Tinubu stated this during the closing ceremony of the African Military Games 2024 in Abuja, Mr Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice-President, said in a statement.

Tinubu, represented by the Vice-President Kashim Shettima, also reiterated his administration’s determination to root out all forms of security threats and violent crimes in Nigeria.

The President, who is the Chairman of ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, said he intended to accomplish all these by strengthening ties across African countries to promote a profound sense of camaraderie among troops on the continent.

The President said the 2nd edition of the Africa Military Games could not have come at a better time, two decades after the last edition was held.

He said the military sports would go a long way in awakening “the spirit of comradeship and friendship that is crucial to enhance cooperation among” militaries across the African continent.

While declaring the Africa Military Games Abuja 2024 closed, Tinubu congratulated delegates from participating countries across Africa for their good conduct and display of the spirit of sportsmanship.
