In what appears to be raising concerns on same issue by both the Executive and the Legislature,the federal Government on Monday raised alarm just like the Senate raised recently on some complications in the ECOWAS external trade liberalisation agreements,which it alleged is being abused to a greater extent by some neighbouring countries.
Audu Ogbeh the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development on Monday said there are complications in the ECOWAS trade liberalisation agreement which appear exploitative to the Nigeria economy which has the largest market size among member countries and Africa at large.
According to Ogbeh,”Some of our neighbours are violating this ECOWAS treaty,as they import and station in their countries borders,at the end of the day,smuggle it into our economy,because they know the market is here as they have devalued the naira.
