A meeting of the Ad Hoc Ministerial Committee for the selection and evaluation of the performance of statutory appointees of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has been concluded in Accra, Ghana.
The meeting, held at the Palms Hotel, was chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Sierra Leone, Alhaji Musa Timothy Kabba, who is the current chair of the ECOWAS Council of Ministers.
Chairing the three-day session of the Council of ECOWAS Ministers' Ad hoc meeting that interviewed statutory appointees who will lead the ECOWAS Commission in the next four years, Minister Kabba, in his remarks, noted that the excellent work the council has done in Accra goes to the very heart of the Community’s future.
He expressed appreciation to everyone for the commitment, diligence, and seriousness with which they undertook what he described as an important responsibility.
"Over the past days, we have engaged in a process that goes to the very heart of our community’s future, and this is a testament to shared commitment to the long-term credibility and effectiveness of ECOWAS.
The interviewees, according to Minister Kabba, will be called upon to navigate a complex and evolving regional landscape, to strengthen integration, and to deliver tangible results for West Africa.
“We must continue to support them while holding them to the highest standards of performance and accountability,” he continued.
He concluded that the exercise was not merely about filling positions but about making deliberate and consequential choices regarding institutional leadership.
The Vice President, Commissioners, Auditor General, and the Directors of ECOWAS’ institutions were interviewed.
