The President made this announcement at the launch of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) held in Accra on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
The President explained that the gesture is to strengthen regional bonds and foster unity amongst young people in the ECOWAS sub-region. “To mark this moment and strengthen regional bonds, Ghana is offering 1000 scholarships to tertiary students from across the ECOWAS sub-region to study in our universities,” he said.
President Mahama emphasized that the scholarships are not just a gesture, but an act of solidarity aimed at promoting a future where young people will see each other as partners, not foreigners. “This is not just a gesture, it is an act of solidarity, it is a brace to a future where our young people will grow up seeing each other not as foreigners but partners,” he added.
The President stressed that unity and solidarity should guide ECOWAS in managing insecurity and diversity amongst its members as it approaches its centenary celebration. He called for ECOWAS to remain a forum for listening, healing, and visionary African-led solidarity and diplomacy.
President Mahama reaffirmed Ghana’s unwavering commitment to the ECOWAS mission and its values of dialogue, peace, and partnerships. He also called for ECOWAS to be positioned not only as a political and economic bloc but as a diplomatic anchor for the continent, a model of integration, dialogue, and peaceful co-existence.
