The newly appointed Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, has assured operators that the African Continental Free Trade Agreement would be utilised optimally to benefit Nigeria.

She disclosed this after assuming duties on Monday.

The AfCFTA is a free trade area that has 43 parties and another 11 signatories, making it the largest free-trade area by number of member states, after the World Trade Organisation, and the largest in population and geographic size.

This decision came in place after the international businesses comprising exhibitors at the Lagos International Trade Fair 2024 complained that Nigeria was facing challenges in actualising the AfCFTA, stressing that border inefficiencies had continued to hinder cross-border trade.

Oduwole emphasised the need to reverse Nigeria’s trade policies to create competitive jobs for the nation’s youth.
