I strongly support reauthorization of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) — a landmark, bipartisan law that has formed bedrock for U.S. trade with sub-Saharan Africa for more than two decades. I encourage Congress to reauthorize AGOA in a timely fashion and to modernize this important Act for the economic opportunities of the coming decade.” President Joe Biden

The AfCFTA is envisaged to increase intra-African trade which is expected to bring about improvement in macroeconomic conditions, including, economic growth, job creation, investment, and poverty reduction in Nigeria and other countries in the continent.
