Tinubu meets outgoing ECOWAS Commission President Omar Touray in Abuja (Photos)
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday hosted the outgoing President of the ECOWAS Commission, Dr Omar Touray, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Photos released by the State House media office showed that Touray arrived at the State House alongside the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye.
The purpose of the private meeting was not disclosed by the Presidency. However, the visit comes just weeks before the Gambian diplomat is expected to officially step down as head of the executive arm of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
A career diplomat, Touray assumed office as President of the ECOWAS Commission on July 3, 2022, following his unanimous nomination by the Government of The Gambia and endorsement by the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government for the 2022–2026 term.
He succeeded Ivorian diplomat Jean-Claude Kassi Brou, who led the Commission from 2018.
Before his appointment at ECOWAS, Touray served as The Gambia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations and later as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs under former President Yahya Jammeh, a position from which he was dismissed in September 2009.
He subsequently worked with the Islamic Development Bank before returning to diplomatic service.
