Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has pledged Ghana's continuous support to the Republic of Niger in its quest to renew and make its governance participatory.

Niger has inaugurated its Consultative Council for Rebuilding. During his official visit to Niamey on Saturday, June 28, Speaker Bagbin noted this development as historic and people-centred.

At the high-profile event, the Speaker stated that Niger’s decision to engage diverse segments of society in rebuilding the nation reflects Ghana’s own democratic journey.

He cited the governance of former President Jerry John Rawlings, who led similar efforts through broad-based consultations to restore constitutional rule.

The Speaker therefore urged the newly established council to carry out its mandate with justice and a firm commitment.

He noted that the council carries the hopes and aspirations not just of Nigeriens but of an entire sub-region seeking peace and reform.

He also extended an invitation to the Council to observe Ghana’s ongoing constitutional review process as a means of mutual learning and shared democratic growth.

Reaffirming Ghana’s unwavering support, the Speaker pledged Ghana’s readiness to partner with Niger through shared experiences, technical assistance, and sustained diplomatic engagement.

He expressed optimism that the Council will stand as a beacon of hope and an enduring symbol of unity for Niger and the West African region at large.

Speaker Bagbin emphasized the deep-rooted ties between Ghana and Niger, grounded in shared history, regional solidarity, and mutual aspirations for peace, justice, and development.
