Mr Wamkele Mene, the Secretary-General, African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, said the secretariat had received a grant commitment of \u00a336 million from the United Kingdom Government for Abidjan-Lagos corridor.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n

Mene said this during a visit to the Seme-Karke joint border post on Friday.<\/p>\n

He said that the grant would be used to address infrastructural<\/a> challenges on the Abidjan-Lagos corridor.<\/p>\n

Mene said that the African Development Bank (AfDB) was also involved in raising funds for infrastructure to make it easier for movement of goods from one country to the other.<\/p>\n

He, however, noted that they would focus on equipment that would ensure productivity and efficiency of transit goods .<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I went to a port in Mombasa, they showed me a control room that is digitised for the entire East Africa community, they have equipment that help them to access what is in the truck that is moving from Kampala to port in Mombasa.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the officer in the control room with a click of a button will see what is in the truck.They did not pay for this with their own money, they mobilised resources<\/a>,\u201d Mene said.<\/p>\n

He said that the secretariat would continue mobilise resources to solve the infrastructural challenges within the corridor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intervention will include interconnectivity. It may appear as if it is an insurmountable barrier but let us look at what others did and improve on the system they introduced and address these challenges,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mene said that with the resources being mobilised, the secretariat, would deploy similar system within the Abidjan-Lagos corridor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThat is why we said to the British Government that the grant they made available will be used to address infrastructural needs along the corridor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also working with the Afreximbank to see what intervention and trade facilitation facility they can make available so that we don\u2019t rely on the British alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take an integrated approach by mobilising those we can influence to bring their resources so that what happened in East Africa can happen here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

Mene said that they were also in discussion with the commissioner for trade in ECOWAS.<\/p>\n

He noted that they want to compliment the work they had done to achieve the desired result.<\/p>\n

On transit, Mene said that the agreement establishing the AfCFTA had rules on transit, customs procedures, harmonisation as well as trade facilitation.<\/p>\n

He said that the rules were very clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not in anybody\u2019s interest to impose additional charges on goods that are on transit because it will not make trade competitive and it will make people think twice about transiting their goods through the corridor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy to hear that the illegal checkpoints are being addressed, all officers along the corridor should be grilled to ensure that such does not exist again,\u201d Mene said.<\/p>\n

He said that they would work with the Customs to address the challenges, noting that it would not happen overnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took the East Africa community about 10 years to reach this level of competitiveness where goods can leave the containership and arrive in Kampala in less then there days.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in 10 years time, the Abidjan-Lagos corridor, will be the best performing corridor in the African continent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, Comptroller Mohammed Jibo of Seme Command, said that interconnectivty gap was the major issue limiting trade facilitation.<\/p>\n

Jibo said that some of the equipment that would enhance connectivity were lying fallow in the command.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoods on transit into Nigeria are mandated to pay heavy duty and this does not encourage trade on the corridor, multiplicity of checkpoint and dwell time given to Nigerian containers is not fair,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Mr Frank Matsaert, the Chief Executive Officer, Trade Mark Africa, contractor in charge of assessing the Abidjan-Lagos corridor, listed key findings that should be followed up as infrastructure, interconnectivity gaps and limited connectivity.<\/p>\n

Matsaert said that others were high trade cost, logistics-capacity and professionalism; informal trade highly complex, lack of cross border traders awareness, security concerns and limited corridor approach.<\/p>\n

He said that implementing the road map for the corridor would take three phases; phase one would take one to two years; phase two; three to five years and phase three, four to seven years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
