High Commissioner of Sierra Leone to Nigeria, Solomon Gembeh, says implementation of the Economic Community of West Africa State (ECOWAS) single currency will reduce the dependency of member states on the west.
Gembeh gave the view in an interview on Saturday in Abuja.
He called on member states to work towards meeting the implementation deadline of the single currency “Eco” which, he said, was already a threat to Western countries.
According to the Sierra Leonean envoy, West Africa is blessed with a lot of mineral, natural resources and human resources which, if effectively harnessed, will make the region a trade destination for Western Countries.
Gembeh, however, urged relevant
institutions of member states that play key roles on the implementation of the
single currency to work towards meeting the 2020 deadline.
