The sub-regional body would hold a meeting of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government to ensure that all the member states were on the same page.
The Heads of State of the Economic Community of West African States are set to meet to discuss issues bordering on the adoption of the single currency – the Eco – for the sub-region, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, has said.
He added that the sub-regional body would hold a meeting of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government to ensure that all the member states were on the same page. “So, the sooner a meeting can be organised of all the heads of state, then we will be in a better position to dispel this notion that somehow, there is this division between the various groups. ECOWAS is one,” he said.for the single currency could be in “serious jeopardy” unless member states comply with agreed processes of reaching the collective goal.
Earlier, the Nigerian Finance Minister, Mrs Ahmed, said the inability to meet the convergence criteria was responsible for the delay in achieving the regional single currency.
