News Agency of Nigeria published on 12 November 2022 an article titled "China to Donate World-Class Edifice to ECOWAS Commission by 2024."
China's ambassador to Nigeria, Cui Jianchun, announced that China will build and fully fund a new headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria for the 15-member Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Comment: In March 2018, China's ambassador to Nigeria, Zhou Pingjian, announced that he signed a memorandum of understanding with ECOWAS for a $31.6 million grant to build the new headquarters. The project has apparently been delayed over difficulties in getting approval to build on the land.
