Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Bola Tinubu, has deployed a delegation to Niger Republic with a mandate to expeditiously resolve the current political impasse in the country.
The action was in line with the resolution reached at the end of the extraordinary summit of the ECOWAS held on Sunday in Abuja.
The delegation, headed by former Nigerian Head of State, retired Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, left for Niamey on Thursday after a briefing by Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
