He claimed revitalization of the subregional blocs will serve as vehicles to usher in an era of robust intra-African commerce, economic growth and job creation.
According to him, “We must deliberate on ways through which African sub-regional organizations can help foster better intra-African trade, achieve better food and energy security, promote higher rates of youth employment, alleviate poverty and realize greater prosperity for our people
He further called for the strengthening of regional economic communities to drive integration and trade ties among African nations in order to deepen democracy and accelerate development across the continent.
