FG TO PARTNER PRIVATE SECTOR IN BOLSTERING ECONOMIC POLICIES IN WEST AFRICA.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has reaffirmed the Federal Government's commitment to partnering with the private sector to drive economic growth in West Africa. 

Tuggar announced this during a virtual private-sector roundtable in Lagos, ahead of the West Africa Economic Summit (WAES) scheduled for June 20-21 in Abuja.

He said the Summit is aimed at fostering regional economic integration and unlock trade and investment opportunities, stressing that it is not just about policy, but about practical solutions, hence the need for frank conversations around trade barriers, infrastructure gaps, and regulatory challenges limiting growth in the sub-region.

The event was attended by top business leaders who discussed their roles in driving regional economic integration and shaping the agenda for WAES, with Tuggar highlighting the importance of private sector participation in shaping the region's economic future.
