AB  - The study examines the challenges facing the non-implementation 
  of the ECOWAS protocol on the free movement of goods, services, persons and 
  capital. In its finding, several problems including the lack of political commitments, 
  administrative restrictions, civil conflicts, wars and terrorism are major obstacles 
  to the implementation of the protocol on free movement of goods, services, persons 
  and capital in West Africa. Thus, the study recommends that ECOWAS leaders should 
  seriously address those obstacles in the implementation of the protocol.
