ACF urges Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso to rejoin ECOWAS

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), a prominent Nigerian socio-political group, has urged Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso to return to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

This call comes after ECOWAS lifted sanctions imposed on the three countries following military takeovers.

The ACF’s National Publicity Secretary, Professor Tukur Mohammed-Baba, issued a statement on Thursday praising President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria, who currently leads ECOWAS, for lifting the sanctions and reopening the Nigerian border with Niger.
