From October 7 to 8, 2025, members of the ECOWAS ad hoc ministerial Committee are meeting in Abuja, Nigeria, to discuss and propose the allocation of positions for the ECOWAS’s future statutory appointees by country.
Among the positions to be filled are those of President, Vice-President, and Commissioners of the ECOWAS Commission, the honorable judges of the Community Court of Justice, the Auditor General, the Directors General of the Intergovernmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) and the West African Health Organization (WAHO).
The rotation of statutory appointees at the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) follows a principle of rotation among member countries for their representation in executive bodies, as stipulated in the legal texts and regulations of the regional organization, with a non-renewable four-year term.
The proposals resulting from this meeting will be submitted to the approval of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government in December.
