‘No trade bullying under AfCFTA’ - Nigeria warned
Former Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry Carlos Ahenkorah has criticised Nigeria’s “bullying attitude” that led to the closure of its land borders from August last year to December this year, and has indicated that such incidents will not be condoned under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) regime.
Mr. Ahenkorah empathised with Nigeria over its concern to safeguard its market and people but disagreed with the option to close its borders to trade.
“I still challenge the rationale for Nigeria to close its borders,” he stated on a live interactive programme, adding that, “they see themselves as big brothers of West Africa and can decide to do what they want to do.”
