The news about ECOWAS single currency ECO has met with several reactions on social media.
Central Bank Governors from the 15 Economic Community of West African States have initiated plans to launch ECO aimed at enhancing economic growth and development throughout the West African sub-region.
Reacting to this, some people believe it is possible and can help the continent only if the leaders are serious. Others also suggest that the leaders should make it easy for Africans to move freely within the continent first.
