A quick reminder: What is the ZLECAf?

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is an initiative of the African Union to create a single continent-wide market for goods, services, capital and people. It represents the world's largest free-trade zone in terms of the number of participating countries, thus promoting African economic integration.

With over 200 million inhabitantsthe Nigeria is Africa's most populous country, offering a massive domestic market.

Its strengths:

  • A oil and gas industry dominant
  • A dynamic ecosystem in fintech and technologies
  • The soft power of Nollywood cinema

Conclusion: Nigeria can become a natural leader in the FTAA, provided it strengthens its infrastructure and stabilizes its business environment.
