LAGOS – Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday said Africa needs not only a trade policy but also a continental manufacturing agenda.
The Nigerian leader made this known in Abuja, the nation's capital, after the presidency announced that the biggest economy in Africa will sign the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) at the coming African Union (AU) extraordinary summit.
"Our vision for intra-African trade is for the free movement of 'made in Africa goods'. That is, goods and services made locally with dominant African content in terms of raw materials and value addition," a statement reaching Xinhua quoted Buhari as saying.
