TUGGAR REITERATES NIGERIA'S COMMITMENT TO BOLSTERING ECONOMIC INTERGRATION IN WEST AFRICA.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to working with the diplomatic community to enhance inclusive economic integration in West Africa. 

Tuggar made this known during a stakeholders' engagement with West African Ambassadors in Abuja, ahead of the West Africa Economic Summit (WAES).

The summit, which has been scheduled for June 20-21 in Abuja, aims to bring together regional leaders, private sector experts, as well as development partners to discuss economic integration and development in West Africa. 

Tuggar stressed the need for collective action to promote economic prosperity and unity in the region, just as he highlighted the importance of WAES in providing a platform for West African countries to take ownership of their economic destiny, articulate common development priorities, and promote scalable investments.
