Nigeria: Courting China in the AfCFTA Courtyard – Policy Brief

The commencement of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement was announced on January 1, 2021. The AfCFTA seeks to increase intra-African trade through the liberalisation of tariffs on up to 97 percent of the goods and services produced within the continent, and the elimination of non-tariff barriers that impede trade among African countries.
