The discussions aim to accelerate economic development and job creation through enhanced Nigeria-OECD cooperation.

In a productive meeting held on Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2025, Nigeria has intensified discussions with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to strengthen trade and investment partnerships, with a focus on advancing the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).  

Jumoke Oduwole, Nigeria’s Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, met with Carlos Condé, the Head of the Middle East and Africa Division at the OECD, and his team on Wednesday morning to explore areas of mutual cooperation. The discussions centred on Nigeria’s leadership in driving AfCFTA initiatives and leveraging OECD support to enhance economic opportunities.

Jumoke emphasised the country’s determination to deepen economic cooperation with the OECD, particularly in initiatives that promote job creation and investment-driven growth.  

“I look forward to collaboration with the OECD for accelerated economic development and enhanced job creation in Nigeria,” Jumoke stated in an Instagram post on Wednesday.  

Nigeria has remained a key proponent of AfCFTA, seeking to expand trade opportunities within Africa while strengthening ties with global economic organisations. The OECD’s engagement with Nigeria signals increased international interest in the country’s economic reforms and investment climate.
