ECOWAS is deeply concerned about recent events in the region, with three of its member states, Guinea, Mali and Burkina Faso under military rule.
These countries are currently on a transition timetable for an eventual return to democratic rule.
In his response, President Bio expressed deep appreciation to the delegation for their visit and reiterated his unwavering resolve to sustain democracy in the country that had emerged from a brutal war 21 years ago.
