ABUJA - Nigeria is set to deepen its participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area AfCFTA in 2026, with the Federal Government moving to identify at least one exportable product in each of the countrys 774 local government areas as part of a broader strategy to scale production, boost non-oil exports and strengthen competitiveness across Africa.
The plan forms a central plank of the Nigeria AfCFTA Agenda in 2026, building on implementation milestones recorded in 2025 and aimed at positioning the country to better exploit opportunities under the continent-wide trade pact.
