Monrovia - To ease trade on the continent, African leaders have signed a free trade pact thus creating one of the biggest trade blocs globally. Jefferson Somah, an entrepreneur, suggests that the West African nation must put its acts together in order to benefit from such free trade deal. Somah says the government should work to financially stimulate infant industries and encourage company shipping raw material to turn it into finished goods. Most economies in Africa have had significant growth over the last ten years and establishing free trade is a positive idea, he added. The Commerce Official said the free trade zone creates a single custom territory.
