A group of Parliamentarians of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has appealed to the Heads of State and Government in the region to lift the sanctions imposed on the Niger Republic.
The Independent Mirror Head of State in ECOWAS had last July imposed sanctions on the Niger Republic over the ouster of President Mohamed Bazoum by some military officers led by erstwhile Presidential Guard Commander, General Abdourahamane Tchiani.
The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, who is also a member of the ECOWAS Parliament, Senator Ali Ndume, addressed journalists after the opening session of the parliament in Abuja today.
He said the sanctions were biting hard on the masses including Nigerians in the Border States.
