President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says the unfortunate exit of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) will hurt its citizens.

The three coup countries announced their decision to leave ECOWAS.

However, Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa-Addo has indicated that ECOWAS is yet to meet to discuss the issue.

“This unfortunate decision by Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to withdraw from the ECOWAS community is going to be very negative for the populations there. But ECOWAS is yet to meet.

“It happened on Sunday, and we are waiting for a signal from the head, Nigerian President Tinubu, to indicate the time when we will have a summit to examine the implications of what has happened and the way forward for the community,” he stated.
