“The time has come for Africa and Africans to define our own narrative. We cannot allow poverty and underdevelopment to be the destiny of Africa. A continent so blessed with every natural resource imaginable- oil, minerals gas and sunshine.”

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia

Dr Bawumia averred that the AfCFTA is a game-changer and, once fully realised, will increase intra-African trade by some US$35 billion and reduce external import by some US$10 billion annually.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia

The Vice President noted that the AfCFTA has set the stage for Africa’s industrialization drive. However, he indicated that it will take concrete strategic action by governments and businesses on the continent the right mix of policies, a greater sense of purpose for a more robust intra-Africa trade to happen to support economic diversification and the much-needed industrialisation of the continent.
