Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured other African countries that Nigeria would actively participate and provide leadership in the African Continental Free Trade Area.
Awolowo emphasised the necessity for comprehensive policies and frameworks that would effectively facilitate the unhindered flow of goods, services, and investments within Africa.
He described the country’s participation as an exploration of the potential to utilise technology and digital platforms for enhancing trade facilitation, reducing barriers, and fostering inclusivity among businesses of all sizes. He said, “My belief is that Nigeria is on the right path to harnessing the transformative power of this continental agreement, and we will continue working closely with the Vice President and the new administration to drive Nigeria’s successful integration into the African market and contribute to the realisation of the shared vision of a prosperous and united Africa.”All rights reserved.
