🚀 Nigeria Launches Guided Trade Initiative under AfCFTA! 🌍 We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Guided Trade Initiative under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), a historic step forward for Nigeria. This initiative, led by His Excellency, Bola Tinubu, aims to unlock an estimated $50 billion in economic opportunities for Nigerian businesses, fostering industrialization, equitable growth, and continental prosperity. 💼✨. The launch event, supported by the Support to ECOWAS Commission in the implementation of the AfCFTA project together with various international partners, marked a significant step in advancing regional and continental economic integration. Svenja Ossmann (she/her), GIZ ECOWAS Cluster Coordinator, emphasized Germany's commitment to supporting Nigeria's proactive efforts in aligning national strategies with ECOWAS-coordinated AfCFTA initiatives. 🤝 The AfCFTANG, with the support of the AfCFTA support project, has developed a comprehensive Action Plan designed to operationalize AfCFTA implementation in Nigeria. This plan aims to maximize the benefits of trade liberalization for all Nigerian businesses, with a special focus on empowering women and youth entrepreneurs. 👩💼👨💼 At the launch, Dr. Doris Anite MD, CFA Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, and Mr. Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, reiterated Nigeria's unwavering dedication to leveraging AfCFTA for industrial growth and job creation. His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, affirmed Nigeria's commitment to leading continental and global trade through AfCFTA, promising a transformative future for all Africans built on collaboration, innovation, and collective strength. The AfCFTA project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH. #AfCFTA #EconomicGrowth #ContinentalLeadership #Nigeria #TradeInitiative #GIZ #ECOWAS #Collaboration #Innovation #Prosperity
