_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Observation

A straight forward question.  Many candidates performed very well in it.  Some however, dwelt on the Charter of the ECOWAS.  The candidates were required to examine the following problems:

(i) the country was faced with language difficulty in dealing with some member countries;
(ii) incessant military coups d’etat in Nigeria and other member countries hindered  political stability which in turn retarded progress of the organization;
(ii) some small members states of the organization were afraid of a possible Nigeria domination of the organization;
(iv) ideological differences between Nigeria and some member states had hindered understanding and progress;
(v) some poor member states could not meet their financial obligations to the organization thereby making Nigeria to put in extra financial aids to sustain the organization;
(vi) influx of refugees from member nations to Nigeria has been affecting Nigeria’s economy, etc.
