Federal Govt Boosting Nigeria’s Presence In ECOWAS With Permanent Mission Ecowas
“Our contribution is what we do from here; we do it in consent with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” Dada said.Nigeria’s Permanent Representative To the ECOWAS, Musa Nuhu, told reporters during the inauguration that “The Permanent Mission of Nigeria To ECOWAS is part of the 110 Nigerian Missions that we have abroad but that of ECOWAS is unique because it is created here in Abuja, in other words, Nigeria has one of its diplomatic missions situated in Abuja and not abroad.
The request for the establishment of the Mission was approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan, in 2012, in compliance with the provisions of Article 8 of the ECOWAS 2010 Supplementary Act which defined the Roles of the Permanent Representatives of Member States to ECOWAS and mandated all Member States to accredit a Permanent Representative to the Institution.
Given the importance that Nigeria attaches to developments in the West African Sub-region, the Permanent Mission of Nigeria to ECOWAS is considered one of Nigeria’s most strategic diplomatic Missions, as well as an important platform for advancing its foreign policy objectives. With the unfolded strategic plans for the Mission, measures were adopted to enable it keenly monitor all ECOWAS activities through the introduction of a cluster system and Officers at the Mission were trained to be conversant with each thematic/sectoral issue in ECOWAS.
