The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, the African Union (AU), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) have announced the unveiling of a statue in honour of former President of the Republic of Niger and African Union Champion of the AfCFTA, Issoufou Mahamadou, in Accra, Ghana. The statue was in commemoration of Mahamadou’s pivotal leadership and Pan-African vision in driving the realisation of the AfCFTA. A statement explained that his achievements in this respect included successfully leading the conclusion of the AfCFTA negotiations as AU Champion for AfCFTA; its entry into force; the launch of the operational phase of the AfCFTA; the 1st January 2021 start of trading under the AfCFTA; thus being pivotal in placing industrialisation, market liberalisation, economic diversification and economic integration at the centre of the African Union’s agenda.
