Nigeria Aims for 40% GDP Growth by 2030 Through African Continental Free Trade Area: Coordinator
The government is intensifying efforts to boost exports, attract investment, and increase industrial productivity through the continent-wide trade pact in order to achieve this ambitious target, the head of Nigeria's AfCFTA Coordination Office told local media.
A key focus is building local expertise in AfCFTA's "Rules of Origin"—the critical criteria that determine which goods qualify for tariff-free trade across Africa, Olusegun Awolowo noted.
The Nigeria AfCFTA Coordination Office, in partnership with the World Customs Organization and the Nigeria Customs Service, is running advanced training programs for businesses and officials.
Namely, the training aims to:
🟠"demystify" AfCFTA instruments for Nigerian enterprises;
🟠ensure that our private-sector players can compete effectively within Africa’s single market;
🟠ensure Nigeria, with its vast population and industrial potential, becomes a major beneficiary of the borderless African trade environment.
