Nigeria's federal government has pledged to strengthen the country's trade integration agenda, expand industrial capacity, and mobilise investments to support sustainable growth across Africa.
Minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun, gave this assurance at the intra-African trade fair (IATF) in Algiers, where he joined global leaders to explore opportunities for deepening continental trade.
A statement from the ministry described the fair as a "critical gateway to unlocking new opportunities across the continent." On the sidelines, Edun met with the president and chairman of Afreximbank, Benedict Oramah, and chair of IATF 2025, former president Olusegun Obasanjo, to discuss strategies for driving Nigeria's integration agenda.

Edun reiterated that Nigeria is committed to reforms aimed at creating a competitive environment for trade and enterprise. According to him, president Bola Ahmed Tinubu's policies are positioning the country as a hub for value-added production and a driving force for Africa's economic integration.
"Our approach is focused on building a competitive landscape where trade and enterprise can flourish," he said. "With president Tinubu's reforms, Nigeria is not only opening its doors to investments but also positioning itself to lead Africa's push for deeper economic integration."
