President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja after a two-day trip to Guinea Bissau for the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), in Bissau.

Thelagostimes gathered that the NAF 001 Boeing 737 jet conveying Tinubu and his entourage touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at about 06:30 pm local time on Monday.

At Sunday’s meeting in Bissau, the Nigerian leader emerged as the new Chairman of the ECOWAS through a unanimous endorsement.

President Tinubu, who accepted the honour on behalf of Nigeria, pledged to bear the responsibility of the office and run an inclusive administration of the regional organisation.

However, he warned that terrorism and the emerging pattern of coup d’etat in West Africa had reached alarming levels and now demands urgent, concerted action.

He argued that insecurity and creeping terrorism were stunting the progress and development of the sub-region, necessitating collective action from member-states.
