The Executive Director of the National Investment Board (NIB), Dr. Edward Hinga Sandy, has been overwhelmingly re-elected as President of the ECOWAS Trade Promotion Organisation (TPO) Network for the 2026–2027 term during the 6th Annual General Assembly of the Network, held in Dakar, Senegal, from 6th–9th July 2026.
Dr. Sandy’s re-election reflects the confidence and trust reposed in his leadership by member Trade Promotion Organizations across the ECOWAS region. It is a recognition of the remarkable progress achieved during his first term, particularly in advancing regional cooperation, strengthening trade and investment promotion, fostering institutional collaboration, and championing initiatives aimed at enhancing intra-ECOWAS trade and private sector development.
Under his leadership, the ECOWAS TPO Network has continued to strengthen partnerships among member states, promote investment opportunities, and support regional economic integration through coordinated trade promotion strategies. His renewed mandate demonstrates the Network’s commitment to building on these achievements and accelerating efforts to create a more competitive and integrated regional market.
The National Investment Board congratulates Dr. Edward Hinga Sandy on this well-deserved achievement, which does not only reflect his exemplary leadership but also elevates Sierra Leone’s standing within the regional trade and investment landscape. NIB remains committed to working with regional and international partners to advance investment, trade, and sustainable economic development for Sierra Leone and the ECOWAS region.
