Theme: Regional Integration In Africa: Who is Implementing the Abuja Treaty?
African regionalism is a means to achieve continental unity, collective self-reliance, economic transformation, and create an agenda for solving African developmental challenges. Thus, the African Economic Community is the continental trading system contemplated by the 1991 Abuja Treaty. However, with the introduction, coming into force and operationalisation of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement, there appears to be some misunderstanding about the nexus of Africa integration framework’s actual role and current relevance of Abuja Treaty in AfCFTA?
Objective: This year’s memorial lecture seek to elicit stakeholders focus on the Abuja Treaty implementation phases and its relationship with the operationalisation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement.
