Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama has decried the lack of full implementation of ECOWAS Protocols aimed at fast tracking economic integration and development in the sub region.
Onyeama expressed concern over non implementation of the protocols on free movement of persons, goods and services in the sub region.
Onyeama said this in a statement by his Media Aide, Sarah Sanda, in Abuja.
The minister said this at the opening of a two-day retreat of the ECOWAS Permanent Representatives Committee jointly organised by the ECOWAS Commission and the Permanent Mission of Nigeria to ECOWAS.
Onyeama urged the Ambassadors to do more in convincing their governments to ratify some of the key pending protocols and agreements as well as domesticating them.
The theme of the conference was “The Permanent
Representatives Committee as a Catalyst for Implementing the Development,
Regional Integration and Post Vision 2020 Programmes of ECOWAS”.
