Nigeria’s commercial capital Lagos is currently hosting a 4-day retreat bringing together ECOWAS Department of Political Affairs Peace and Security (PAPS).
According to organisers, the retreat kicked off on February 10. It serves as a platform to deliberate on the mandate and programmes of the Department of Political Affairs Peace and Security (PAPS).
It further serves as an opportunity for staff to have a clear vision of the new management of ECOWAS Commission and to undertake planning for its operationalization and activities in 2023, going forward.
Participants at the retreat are also discussing the set priorities of the new ECOWAS Commission’s Management team and the vision of the PAPS Commissioner.
They will also be taking a critical look at institutional, administrative and human resource challenges within PAPS as well as other pertinent staff issues.
The Commissioner, PAPS, Dr. Abdel-Fatau Musah stressed; “Our gathering here presents a great opportunity for us to reflect on our vision and mandate and re-engineer our focus in moving forward our Department in leading effectively the ECOWAS Peace and Security agenda and consequently contributing our quota to the Vision 2050 ECOWAS of the People: Peace and Prosperity for All, and the 4 × 4 current Management objectives”.
The theme of the retreat is “A fit-for-Purpose PAPS to address new Peace and Security Challenges in the ECOWAS Region”.
