Regional Diplomacy: Nigeria Pays ₦85bn, $54m ECOWAS Levy – VOP

In the meantime, Nigeria has paid its accrued debt owed the Economic Community of West African States to the tune of ₦85 billion.

President of the ECOWAS Commission, Omar Touray, disclosed this in his statement at the opening of the 66th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government in Abuja.

He said while the community had suffered slow response from member states in remitting their levies, Nigeria under the leadership of President Tinubu had cleared its levies from 2023 to date.

Touray added that this is the first time in 19 years that Nigeria will pay 100% of its ECOWAS levy.
