    The Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS) has removed economic sanctions placed on Niger Republic, Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea.
    This came following the resolution taken on Saturday, in Abuja, during the extraordinary summit on the political, security, and peace conditions in the ECOWAS sub-region.
    However, the regional bloc, noted that the political and targeted sanctions remain.
    It would be recalled that the West African bloc had in a swift response to the military coup in Niger, enforced a no-flight zone over the country.
    The Nigerian government also cut off power supply to the military-ruled country to persuade the juntas to restore democracy in the country.
    President Bola Tinubu happened to be the current chairman of ECOWAS.
