The delegation was led by its Chairman and High Commissioner of The Gambia to Nigeria and Permanent Representative to ECOWAS, H.E. Mohamadou Musa Njie. The visit aimed to introduce the EASC members and their initiatives to Dr. Touray and seek support from the Commission for their activities.
Present at the meeting were Mrs. Massandjé Toure-Litse, ECOWAS Commissioner in charge of Economic Affairs and Agriculture, representatives of EASC, and staff members of the ECOWAS Commission.
The PRC established the Economic Affairs Standing Committee as an advisory body.

Additionally, it offers guidance on potential pathways for progress within the Community.
