President Adama Barrow has called on West African leaders to perfect efforts aimed at addressing the problem of irregular migration.

At least 60 Gambian migrants were killed earlier this month after their boat headed for Spain ran out of fuel and capsized off the coast of Mauritania, with the United Nations branding it the ‘worst’ migrant tragedy of West Africa this year.

State House reported on its official Facebook page on Saturday Mr Barrow while addressing the 56th Ecowas heads of state and government summit in Nigeria called on the leaders of

Ecowas “to address the issue of irregular migration as a major concern.”

“In spite of the progress made towards sustainable regional integration, our Community continues to face threats to peace and security within the sub-region. Issues of social discrimination, irregular migration, terrorist attacks, land conflicts and environmental concerns, for example, pose a big challenge to us,” Mr Barrow said, according to State House’s Facebook page.
