The sixth parliament of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS Parliament) at the 2024 second extraordinary session of the parliament holding in Kano, has adopted crucial parliamentary instruments to guide the progress and implementation of its mandate.
21st CENTURY CHRONICLE reports that the instruments consist of the rules of procedure, the strategic plan and the 2024 work plan of the parliament.
Acting Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament and Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, stressed the importance of the protocols in facilitating the work of the parliament.
“This Extraordinary Session is unique on several counts. During this session, we are expected to hold deliberations and adopt three very important instruments which bear heavily on the progress and effective implementation of our mandate.
“They are The Rules of Procedure of the Sixth Legislature, which was deferred from our inaugural session—the Strategic Plan of the Sixth Legislature and 2024 Annual Work Plan,” he said.
