The post reads
“Today, we paid the Secretary-General of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), His Excellency Wamkele Mene, a visit at the Secretariat in Accra to discuss our plans to advance the implementation of AfCFTA at the sub-national level. In December 2024, Oyo State hosted a consultative meeting to develop its Sub-National Strategy for AfCFTA implementation. I submitted the consolidated report from the meeting and updated H.E. Mene on the progress we have made towards finalising the Oyo State Sub National AfCFTA Implementation Strategy.”
“Let me use this opportunity to again thank H.E. Wamkele Mene for the warm welcome and for commending us for setting a precedent for other sub-national governments as the first government to visit the Secretariat and advance the implementation of the AfCFTA at the sub-national level. We are indeed grateful for his support and for offering technical assistance to us for ongoing administrative processes.”
