President John Dramani Mahama has called for stronger security and trade relations between Ghana and Niger following discussions with Niger’s leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, in Niamey.
In a statement posted on his official Facebook page today March 10, 2025, Mr Mahama stressed the need for cooperation in addressing regional security threats and expanding economic opportunities.
“Our discussions covered efforts to tackle terrorism in the Sahel and West Africa, improve trade between our two countries, and strengthen diplomatic ties,” he said.
The President also urged the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to engage with the Alliance of Sahel States—a bloc formed by Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso after their exit from ECOWAS to promote regional stability.
