President Muhammadu Buhari is hosting the Extraordinary
Summit of the Economic Community of West African States
Authority of Heads of State and Government to mark its
40th Anniversary.
The main item on the agenda of the summit will be the
current political situation in Burkina Faso.

to keep faith with the agreed transitional programme for the
return of the country to a democratic rule.
