Which of the following countries pioneered the idea of ECOWAS alongside Nigeria?
The idea of establishing the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was jointly championed by Nigeria (General Yakubu Gowon) and Togo (President Gnassingbé Eyadéma). These two leaders are widely recognised as the main initiators/pioneers of the organisation, which was officially founded in 1975 in Lagos.
Togo’s President played a key diplomatic and regional role in pushing the idea forward alongside Nigeria.
