Nyame-Baafi outlined several instruments and protocols that had been unveiled to support the operational phase of the AfCFTA during an AU extraordinary summit in Niger in 2019 to ensure equity among member countries.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5169\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Picture1ss.png\">He stated that the AfCFTA Agreement constitutes the most significant development in Africa\u2019s Integration effort and hinted that Government would soon adopt a strategy to boost Intra African trade.&nbsp;
