AfCFTA SG Wamkele Mene says Africa must tap on its resources to avert a looming food crisis

The African Continental Free Trade Area secretary-general Wamkele Mene says Africa must tap on its resources to avert a looming food crisis. Speaking on the sidelines of the African Development Bank Group's annual meeting in the Ghanaian capital Accra, Mene says Russia's invasion of Ukraine has exposed Africa's weakness on food security. The African Continental Free Trade Area secretary-general says the continental structure is committed to integrating Africa. So far 43 out of 54 countries have ratified the agreement meant to boost intra Africa trade. Mene says this process must be accelerated. Meanwhile, Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan says women and youth-owned entities must not be left out as the continent seeks to recover economically.
