The Dr. Omar Touray led ECOWAS Commission and the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development, EBID, have agreed to expand cooperation and explore areas of mutual interest for the prosperity of the people of the sub-region.
EBID, formed in 1975 but started operations in 1979 with a mission to support the developmental projects and programmes of member states, called on the president of ECOWAS Commission at Abuja, to strengthen collaboration.
The group led by the president of EBID, Dr. George Agyekum Donkor, congratulated the President of ECOWAS Commission adding that he came at a time when the sub-region is facing numerous economic and security challenges but given his public service record and diplomatic antecedent the sub-region will surely overcome the challenges.
Responding, Dr. Touray thanked the EBID management for the visit and support for the new administration, saying that the new mantra “ECOWAS of the People” was created to deliver shared prosperity for the people of the sub-region which will be achieved through the four core strategies of the new ECOWAS Commission namely poverty reduction, economic integration, good governance and due process.
He said that to achieve the strategies, there is a need to build deep collaboration and strong institutions with the right resources and processes and solicited the support of EBID to make the objectives a reality.
