Dr. Kwesi Ndoum, Minister of Economic Planning and Regional Co-operation on Tuesday cautioned the public not to engage in any financial transactions with any group or organisations parading as agents and representatives of ECOWAS.

He further warned that ECOWAS has not authorised any agents to carry out any business on its behalf and therefore their activities are illegal.

A statement signed by Mr. Kofi Nyantakyi, Head of the Public Affairs Directorate, advised the general public to report such persons to the appropriate authorities, should they be approached for any business transactions.

The statement said anyone in doubt about the authenticity of any business transaction connected with the ECOWAS Executive Secretariat could immediately contact the ECOWAS Secretariat at info@ecowasmail.net
