Read wetin im talk
"We have decided that our unit of currency will be ‘eco’, let us now start using eco, let eco become our unit of currency.
"Single currency unit for ECOWAS states will bring about more development and growth among the states"
"We must tell ourselves the truth that there has not been enough political will on our part to move the sub-regional organisation as fast and as far as we should have done",
"I have maintained that all of us in West Africa, and indeed in Africa, are sitting on a keg of gun powder for as long as we do not pay adequate attention to youth unemployment.
"A situation where more than 50 per cent of our youths are unemployed is extremely dangerous.
"We now have a situation in part of West Africa where people are dying of starvation. Is it that we are not producing enough food? Or if we are producing, are they not evenly distributed?
"It is shameful because that has led us to be begging international communities for supply of food to West Africa. It is not right",
"I will continue to make myself available in the service of ECOWAS, wherever you think my services will be needed, call upon me and am ready
"What is important is that these communities of 320 million people will be lifted up, these communities should be marching along and we should get rid of internal conflicts
