He made the remark at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while inaugurating the nation’s Committee for Impact and Readiness Assessment of the African Continental Free Trade Area.

President Buhari charged the committee to concentrate on the issues raised during the nationwide consultations and find lasting solutions to them.
Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah urged the committee to identify the short, medium and long term measure to prepare Nigerian businesses for the take off of the African continental free trade area.
