The new Headquarter complex in Abuja, Nigeria, which will house the Commission, Parliament and Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), will be operational in March 2026. 

This was revealed during a visit to the building site  by a large delegation from the ECOWAS Commission management led by its President, Dr. Omar Alieu Touray, according to a statement at the weekend.

Built on a 7-hectare site along the road to Abuja Airport, the building is currently 96% complete. The remaining 4% involves general restoration work in the buildings (already underway), as well as defect rectification, testing and commissioning (pending).

Known as the ‘Eye of West Africa’, the new ECOWAS Headquarter Complex is fully funded and constructed by the People’s Republic of China through the China International Development Cooperation Agency (China Aid).
