President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Monday signaled Ghana’s readiness to host the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The AfCFTA is a planned free trade area, outlined in the African Continental Free Trade Agreement among 49 of the 55 African Union nations. So far six countries including Ghana, have submitted their bids to host the Secretariat. Ambassador Katungye commended Ghana for being the first nation to offer to host the AfCFTA Secretariat. She was of the firm belief that when established, the Secretariat would be the gateway to fulfil the aspirations of making Africa a continental free trade area.
