ABSTRACT
ECOWAS as an economic bloc was formed to address the issue of economic exploitation by Europeans on West African states. ECOWAS was established to control these excesses and to ensure strong economic relations with her members states. With the provisions of the ECOWAS treaty there was the gradual abolition of customs duties among member states and also the guarantee of free movement of persons and capital within the community, this means there would be no existing economic barrier and prefential tarrifs for it's local manufacturers. ECOWAS implies the intergration of economic policies, programs of members and also a gradual indigenization of the ownership and control of capital in the sub-region. Firms that are not indigenously owned and controlled would be subjected to tarrif discrimination in West African market.
