Obasanjo urges fg to sign acfta agreement

Here is a summary of the article:

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called on the Federal Government to sign the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement. Obasanjo made the call while speaking at the 2022 African Economic Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

According to Obasanjo, the AfCFTA agreement is a critical step towards promoting economic integration and development in Africa. He emphasized that the agreement has the potential to increase intra-African trade, create jobs, and reduce poverty.

Obasanjo also urged African leaders to work together to address the challenges facing the continent, including infrastructure development, energy generation, and human capital development.

The AfCFTA agreement aims to create a single market for goods and services across Africa, with the goal of increasing trade and economic cooperation among African countries. The agreement was signed by 54 African countries in 2018, but Nigeria is one of the few countries that has not yet ratified it.

Obasanjo's call for the Federal Government to sign the AfCFTA agreement is seen as a significant endorsement of the agreement, and it is likely to put pressure on the government to take action.
