During his address, President Mahama emphasized that the scholarship program represents more than just financial support for education.

“This is not just a gesture, it is an act of solidarity. It is a bridge to a future where our young people will grow up seeing each other not as foreigners, but as partners,” he added.

The announcement was made in the presence of various West African leaders and dignitaries who gathered in Accra to reflect on ECOWAS’s achievements and chart a path for future regional cooperation. The official logo for the 50th anniversary celebrations was also unveiled during the event.
