Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has joined global leaders at the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF 2025) in Algiers, a gathering described as a key gateway to unlocking new opportunities across the continent.

According to a post by the Ministry of Finance, Edun held high-level meetings on the sidelines with Afreximbank President Benedict Oramah and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Chair of IATF 2025.

Their discussions focused on strengthening Nigeria’s trade integration agenda, expanding industrial capacity and mobilising investments to drive sustainable growth.

The ministry added that Edun reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to reforms that create a competitive and enabling environment for trade and enterprise, noting that President Bola Tinubu’s policies are positioning the country as a hub for value-added production and a driving force for Africa’s economic integration.
