Deji Elumoye in Abuja
President Bola Tinubu yesterday urged the West African leaders to harness the region’s youthful population and abundant natural resources for economic transformation through industrialisation, education, and innovation.
This is just as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has called on the West African leaders to dismantle trade barriers, and reduce costs, to unlock the subregion’s $500 billion economic potential and secure prosperity for its young and growing population.
