What will you do to help Nigerian businesses sell into other African countries?
I will align our trade policies and standards with the African Continental Free Trade Area so Nigerian goods can compete across African markets. I will support Nigerian businesses accessing new African markets through trade facilitation and information platforms, and work with other African countries to develop regional value chains that boost production and exports. I will also improve border infrastructure and customs processes for faster, more efficient cross-border trade.
