See What buhari said after signing the (AfCFTA) agreement
President Buhari said: "Africa, therefore, needs not only a trade policy but also a continental manufacturing agenda.
"Our vision for intra-African trade is for the free movement of 'made in Africa goods'. That is, goods and services made locally with dominant African content in terms of raw materials and value addition.
"If we allow unbridled imports to continue, it will dominate our trade. The implication of this is that coastal importing nations will prosper while landlocked nations will continue to suffer and depend on aid."
NAN reports that the AfCFTA is expected to be the world's largest free trade area since the formation of the World Trade Organization, with a potential market of 1.2 billion people.(NAN)
