Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35118, member: 636"] Ghana will award 1,000 scholarships to West African students at its universities. President John Dramani Mahama announced this news during the ECOWAS 50th anniversary celebration in Accra on April 22. He wants young people across the region to see each other as partners instead of foreigners. The program aims to strengthen friendships among students from different West African countries. Many important leaders attended the launch event. They used this time to discuss growing the regional group. These discussions occurred as some Sahel countries recently left ECOWAS. The region also faces problems with military takeovers. The scholarship plan represents real teamwork between nations during these challenging times. [/QUOTE]
