\u201cIt is the entire Assembly that has been brought here; and in the Assembly, we do not have any kind of restrictions. When we have a Parliament, everything concerning the entire Ecowas Community will be discussed,\u201d he told journalists.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cSo, it is an open session for Parliament; and we do not have restrictions. Everything about the society, about the economy, about ECOWAS, about the West African sub-region can be discussed. So, it is an open-ended kind of scope in respect of what is going to be discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n
