Oyo, AfCFTA secretariat meet in Ghana to deepen trade collaboration


The Oyo State Government has held high-level talks with the leadership of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat in Accra, Ghana, as part of efforts to advance collaborative initiatives and commence full implementation of the state’s AfCFTA Strategy. The meeting, described as the first engagement between both parties in 2026, followed a Training of Trainers workshop on AfCFTA implementation held in Ibadan last week. According to her, discussions centred on Oyo State’s 2026 AfCFTA Action Plan, particularly following the allocation of dedicated funds for AfCFTA implementation in the state’s 2026 budget — a move considered rare at the sub-national level. The deliberations also focused on advancing AfCFTA implementation at the sub-national level, accelerating industrial development, and enhancing Oyo State’s competitiveness within the continental market. She added that the engagement with the AfCFTA Secretariat underscored the growing importance of proactive state-level leadership in translating continental trade policy into measurable economic outcomes.
