The roundtable, held on Thursday, focused on advancing economic ties between Nigeria and South Africa, with stakeholders emphasising the importance of building digital infrastructure, platforms, and financial systems to facilitate seamless cross-border trade.
Participants highlighted the need to move beyond policy discussions to practical implementation, calling for stronger, technology-driven partnerships to unlock investment opportunities and enhance regional value chains.
The forum also underscored the role of economic diplomacy in driving inclusive growth and accelerating integration across the African continent.
