 Ethiopian forces regain control of border city near Eritrea Ethiopian government forces and their allies entered Adigrat, near the border with Horn of Africa neighbour Eritrea, days after Eritrean troops were pushed back from the strategic city. The reported incursion by Eritrean troops, which Eritrea has denied and Reuters could not independently verify, has raised fears of a return to all-out war along Ethiopia's northern border where the two nations have clashed before. Conflicts elsewhere in the region and tensions across the Red Sea have further raised the stakes. The fighting that broke out last month has been the biggest escalation since ​the Tigray war, in which hundreds of thousands of people died.

 Lagos State Charts Path to Trade Dominance in Africa


In a bid to solidify Lagos State's position as a leading hub for commerce and trade in Africa, the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade, and Investment, Mrs Folashade Ambrose-Medebem chaired a strategic meeting with the Lagos State Technical Working Group on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).


The meeting, held in the company of the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olugbemiga Aina, underscored Lagos' commitment to leveraging AfCFTA as a transformative tool for economic growth, job creation, and regional integration.


The Commissioner described AfCFTA as the future of trade in Lagos, emphasizing that the State’s proactive approach is aimed at positioning Lagos as a leader in Africa’s trade revolution.


Her words: “With a deliberate focus on building capacity, fostering innovation, and ensuring standardisation, Lagos is set to unlock the immense potential of AfCFTA.”


The deliberations focused on a shared vision: fostering intra-African trade by Africans and ensuring Lagos leads the charge in this ambitious continental trade agenda.


The Technical Working Group’s roadmap signals a bold step toward an integrated and prosperous Africa, with Lagos at the helm of this transformative journey. As the State harmonizes its trade strategy, businesses and entrepreneurs are poised to reap the benefits of an interconnected African market, boosting Lagos' economy and creating new opportunities for its people.


The time for action is now, and Lagos is ready to lead!
