Africa’s share of global trade has remained stagnant at approximately 3% or less, but there are opportunities for improvement.
This was according to the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Okonjo-Iweala highlighted Nigeria’s potential to enhance the quality of its agricultural exports, particularly cowpea and sesame, which could generate billions of dollars, significantly boosting the country’s revenue.
The WTO boss emphasised the organisation’s commitment to partnering with Nigeria and Africa to maximise these opportunities.
