SUMMARY:Championing the Benefits of Cameroon – Nigeria Trade: A Quest for Favourable Trading Terms
DESCRIPTION:\nBackground \nAt the end of the 6th Joint Cooperation Commission between Nigeria and Cameroon, which ended on the 11th of April 2014 in Yaoundé, the two countries initiated a series of cooperation agreements, including a formal trade agreement, to govern trade between them. Despite this agreement, the countries are struggling to conduct cordial trade exchanges. In August 2019, Nigeria closed its land borders with several neighbouring countries, including Cameroon. It decided to reopen them on the 16th of December 2020, allowing only light vehicles and pedestrians to cross (Institute for Security Studies, 2021). With this in mind, the Nkafu Policy Institute of the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation is organizing a panel discussion on the theme: “Championing the Benefits of Cameroon – Nigeria Trade: A Quest for Favorable Trading Terms”.  \nObjectives and key issue \nThe main objective of this event is to provide a platform for high-level experts to discuss the benefits of free trade between Cameroon and Nigeria.
