President Muhammmadu Buhari has appealed to Member-States of the Gulf of Guinea Commission (GGC) to remit their outstanding Annual Assessed Contributions to the Secretariat.
The President made the appeal at a virtual meeting of the Heads of State and Government of Member States of the Commission today.
According to a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, the president say the continued non-payment by the majority has greatly affected the ability of the Commission to fulfil the mandate for which it was established in 2001.
