The legal regimes of protection of investments in ECOWAS region have over the years suffered not only from a lack of policy drive, but also a sustainable and development driven legal framework. Policy inconsistencies and consequent uncertainty on investment issues and the integration/ common market vision has become a mirage with the attendant legal challenges.
These challenges have impacted negatively on the psyche of both local and foreign investors who are genuinely desirous of investing in ECOWAS region. The need for an elaborate legal framework as they relate to the promotion and protection of foreign investments and the integration of the ECOWAS economy has been become pertinent, this paper has suggested the way forward.
