In May 2020, The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), celebrated 45 years since its establishment.

Countries that form the ECOWAS union are Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cote D’Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.
