The Outgoing Ambassador of Liberia to Nigeria, Benin , Equatorial Gunea and ECOWAS Commission Dr. Al-Hassan CONTEH made a significant farewell visit to the President of the ECOWAS Commission, H.E. Dr. Omar Alieu TOURAY, at the ECOWAS Commission’s Headquarters today in Abuja, Nigeria.

Reflecting on the fruitful years of collaboration, he underscored ECOWAS’ critical role in supporting Liberia, particularly during challenging times.

The ECOWAS Commission President assured the outgoing Ambassador that the regional body would continue to support his efforts in his future endeavors and that ECOWAS remained committed to its partnership with the Government and people of Liberia.
As Dr. CONTEH prepares to move on to new ventures, his farewell visit stands as a testament to the strong ties between Liberia and ECOWAS, and the enduring spirit of cooperation within the West African region.
