Nigeria Moves to Harness Women’s Entrepreneurial Strength to Drive AfCFTA Leadership

Nigeria has expressed its determination to take a leading role in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) by building a resilient, productive, and competitive economy through the large-scale unlocking of the productive capacities of women-led businesses. 

The country aims to achieve this by promoting inclusion and expanding women’s access to finance, markets, and other economic incentives.

This position was revealed by ministers and key stakeholders during the Colloquium in Honour of Women’s Role in Industry, Trade and Investment themed “Positioning Nigeria to Lead Intra-African Trade,” which took place at the National Assembly Library Complex on Friday.
