Nigeria will play a pivotal role in this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He expressed confidence in Africa\u2019s future, adding, \u201cThe youth of Africa are the drivers of change, and they give me hope for a better tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On January 22, Shettima joined other global leaders in advocating for the full implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement during the WEF.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated Nigeria\u2019s readiness to lead the initiative, emphasizing its potential to foster digital transformation and economic integration across the
