Sierra Leone’s President, Julius Maada Bio, has emerged as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), succeeding Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, who held the position for the past two years.

The announcement was made during the ECOWAS Summit held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where regional leaders gathered to review the bloc’s progress and chart a new course for deeper cooperation.

President Tinubu’s tenure saw increased emphasis on economic integration, regional security, and efforts to restore constitutional order in member states facing coups.
