The Federal Government on Friday inaugurated Amb. Yonov Agah as the Director-General, Nigeria Office for Trade Negotiations (NOTN).
He was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in March, as the DG and Chief Trade Negotiator.
Performing the inauguration, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Adeniyi Adebayo, charged Agah to make a positive impact.
The minister told the appointee to work with critical stakeholders on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the second phase of negotiations.
Adebayo urged the NOTN to monitor the developments regionally and globally to be abreast with current dynamics in trade negotiations.
“International trade is very important in the expansion of the economy of a country because it allows for the development of markets, creates employment, thereby reducing the rate of poverty,’’ he said.
IDOMA VOICE recalls that Agah was Nigeria’s candidate for the position of DG World Trade Organization but was later withdrawed and replaced by Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who eventually won.
