President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Saturday reiterated the call for a functioning common regional market in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
He said a sub-regional market must be considered the fundamental objective for all, as the Region inched towards total integration.
President Akufo-Addo made the call when Mr Jean-Claude Brou, the President of the ECOWAS Commission, handed over to him and President Faure Gnassingbe of the Republic of Togo, a Joint Border Post for Noepe-Akanu at Akanu in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region.
He said the structural transformation of West African economies would be enhanced by trade liberalisation and praised the European Union (EU) and the ECOWAS Commission's resolve to establish similar common borders across the Sub-Region as "one major effort at conditioning West Africa for prosperity".
"Ghana and Togo stand ready to support and promote all efforts aimed at ensuring the success of the management of this Joint Border Post and to strengthen the bonds of cooperation and friendship between the two countries."
The President said the success of the project was of high economic interest to the ECOWAS adding; "With hard work, creativity and enterprise, we should create sufficient opportunities to enhance the prosperity of our people".
