D. political unity

Correct Answer:

Option D – political unity

Explanation

ECOWAS main achievement in recent years has been in the area of Political Unity.

The fact that many countries with different colonial backgrounds came together and have remained together in the last sixteen years is a remarkable achievement. It is due to unity that the sub-region has been able to think of certain projects to link the 10,000km high way projects such to link the capital cities of the member states. Another is the establishment of ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) which has succeeded in bringing about peace in certain places such as Liberia and Sierra Leone in 1998 and 1999 respectively.
