ECOWAS BOARD OF EXECUTIVES REMOVES SANCTIONS IMPOSED ON NIGER.

Niger's President Bazoum was deposed in a military coup last July, prompting ECOWAS to suspend trade and impose  tough sanctions.

 However,the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has officially lifted all commercial and economic sanctions that were previously imposed on the Republic of Niger.

ECOWAS urges Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali to reconsider their withdrawal from the subregional body.
