Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa explained this at the recent event in Accra. Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu and the ECOWAS Commission President attended. The launch marked fifty years since ECOWAS began. Ablakwa wanted people to know Ghana isn't paying for everything. The minister addressed concerns about spending during tough economic times. He pointed out that President Mahama focuses on careful money management. Most funds for the grand launch came from all member states together. The two-day meeting after the celebration also had shared expenses. Ghanaian taxpayers didn't shoulder the entire financial burden alone. [/QUOTE]
