The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), on Monday, disclosed in Abuja that about 60 per cent of the African population live on less than one dollar per day, adding that the authority of the heads of state and government has decided to revive the integration process, by adopting Vision 2020 at its June, 2007 session held in Abuja.

This disclosure was made at the regional meeting of national committees on Community Development Programme(CDP) held at the ECOWAS secretariat in Abuja.

The meeting disclosed that Vision 2020 was aimed at moving from an ECOWAS of states to ECOWAS of people and also to create conducive environment where people live in dignity and peace under the rule of law and good governance.

It further stated that ECOWAS was committed to achieving a borderless West African region and establishing a region well integrated into global village and deriving maximum benefits from globalisation.
