Quotes "A huge volume of trade is happening in West Africa, but much of it occurs within the informal sector, which is why it’s not properly captured in official statistics,” “You’ll be shocked at how robust trade is in West Africa,” “But it falls in the category of the informal sector. And it’s not properly captured. And these are one of the few assignments that we have to do in tandem with what we are doing here. How do you bring the informal sector into the formal sector? Number one, for the possibility to have a wider net, of course, for the economy to be captured in our GDP. But even more important than that is, no matter what they’re doing in the formal sector, it is more beneficial for them to be part of the formal sector because they have certain access to funding and protection that is key.” “At the moment, I always like to look at the glass half full. No doubt, we have a lot of work to do." “The truth of the matter is once we meet here, once we come up with tangible ideas, policies, or laws that will be beneficial for the entire ECOWAS team, ECOWAS, we come together, go back to our various countries, and try to navigate it through. And then we meet ourselves at a future point. Work like this is grinding. We have various nations. They are all sovereign. They all have various interests. So, putting all these interests together is not an easy task. Now, all of us want to reach the same destination, but we just have different ideas of how to get there. So the idea for us is to form a common front and move forward as one." External links Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:Living people Category:1980 births
