The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Saturday lifted some sanctions on Niger Republic, Mali and Guinea.
The sub-regional body took the decision at an Extraordinary Session of the Heads of State and Government of member countries in Abuja.
The ECOWAS Commission’s Chairman, Omar Touray, who announced the decision at the end of the meeting, said political and targeted sanctions on the Niger Republic would remain, but economic sanctions on Guinea and other similar ones on Mali had been lifted.
