Guinea Bissau President Umaro Embalo is the ECOWAS new Chairman of Authority for the next year. He was elected at Sunday’s Accra Summit to succeed Ghana’s Nana Akufo-Addo, who held the position for almost two years.
In a similar development, The Gambia’s Omar Alieu Touray was also introduced as the new President of the ECOWAS Commission replacing Cote d’Ivoire’s Jean-Claude Kassi Brou.
Brou assumes office as Governor of the Central Bank of West African States, BCEAO on Monday.
