The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) recently held a two-day workshop in Lagos to sensitise stakeholders in the telecom industry on the implications of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement. The workshop, which took place at Four Points By Sheraton Hotel, followed a similarly focused workshop held in Kano last week.
A free trade agreement is a commitment by two or more countries to remove tariffs and certain restrictions in order to ensure free movement of goods and services, to improve and increase trading among them. All African countries, save for Eritrea, committed themselves to establishing a free trade area that will make Africa a single market by signing the AfCFTA Agreement.
