Meanwhile, the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala says, WTO has mapped out plans to support and strengthen countries of the continent to increase the ability to trade with one another. 

Okonjo Iweala disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the Ministry of Trade and Investment in Abuja, Monday.

She encouraged Nigeria and  African youths to venture into technology and e-commerce which provides good platforms to invest as the world Trade Organization is willing to train the youths on how to be resourceful for their countries.
