AU: Tinubu rejects fresh scramble for Africa, pledges to strengthen ECOWAS

The President, who spoke in his first address at the Fifth Mid-Year Coordination Meeting of the African Union in Kenya, reaffirmed Africa’s unity and strength, while strongly rejecting the notion of a new scramble for the continent.

Tinubu warned that plundering and exploitation of the continent should remain in the past and never be repeated.

He also announced plans to strengthen the Economic Community of West African States Standby Force to deter coups and combat terrorism in the sub-region.

As the Chairperson of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, Tinubu highlighted the progress made by ECOWAS in various sectors of its integration process, including trade, free movement of persons, investment promotion, infrastructure development, and security.
