AATC will draw a wide variety of organizations and encourage cooperation between domestic and international financial and policy stakeholders.
The Afreximbank African Trade Centre (AATC) in Abuja was officially opened for business on Thursday by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This event represents a significant step forward in Nigeria’s aspirations to establish itself as a central location for commerce and investment on the African continent.
Senator George Akume, who serves as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), was the one who attended the ceremony on behalf of the President.
A regional office for the bank and a center for technological advancement, trade facilitation, and economic development in Africa are all in the works for the futuristic commercial complex.
In order to fill important informational gaps in trade and markets and to alleviate the lack of trade facilitation services in the CARICOM area and Africa, the AATC is a multi-functional facility.
IIt caters to international, African, and Nigerian financial and policy organizations with its state-of-the-art conference center, trade and exhibition hub, Digital Trade Gateway, 148-room ONOMO Hotel, and office spaces.
A wellness center, a gym, and an incubator for startups and small and medium-sized enterprises are all part of the Centre.
A large conference center for regional and international events, a trade and exhibition center to showcase African products, and a SME incubation hub to foster innovation and entrepreneurship are just a few of the contemporary amenities that the AATC offers, positioning it to become a one-stop hub for trade-related activities.
Nigeria’s increasing relevance as a center for African commerce and investment is highlighted by the AATC’s commissioning.
It also demonstrates Afreximbank’s dedication to promoting economic development and integration by offering the resources and infrastructure required to realize Africa’s enormous trading potential.
It is anticipated that as the center opens, it will draw a wide variety of organizations and encourage cooperation between domestic and international financial and policy stakeholders.
