South Africa Beats Nigeria To Top Job In African Continental Free Trade Area by zhike: 1:41pm On Feb 12, 2020
South Africa has won a ding-dong battle with its continental rival Nigeria at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa for the post of secretary-general of the African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA) which is due to start operating on July 1.

South Africa’s Wamkele Mene, a top trade negotiator finally prevailed over Nigeria’s Cecilia Akintomide, a former vice-president and general secretary of the African Development Bank, after seven rounds of voting by African heads of state and government on Monday evening.

South African officials were celebrating the victory over South Africa’s main African competitor, especially because they insisted that Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari had conducted a political battle over what should have been a purely technocratic decision.

Well done South Africa, please lead Africa to greener pastures.

How was Nigeria going to chair free trade deal while they are unable to run economy in Nigeria
