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.
