ACFTA Fest Set To Promote Trade, Talent & Culture Across Africa

The African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA) says it is set to empower 1.5 million youths in entrepreneurship, the arts, and sports, while facilitating over $5 billion in trade deals and partnerships across the continent. Speaking at the press conference in Lagos, the Project Lead of ACFTA Fest, Mandi Anyangwe, stated that the initiative is designed to strengthen intra-African trade and promote Africa as a single, integrated market. Anyangwe noted that the festival will deepen awareness of the African Continental Free Trade Area at the grassroots level to ensure wider participation, explaining that the project is focused on mobilising youths and creatives as key drivers of economic growth and development in Africa. A football legend Eyong Enoh, described the festival as a platform aimed at removing limitations and fostering unity across the continent. Enoh stated that Africa is not the future but the present, emphasising the need for inclusive innovation and collective action to drive meaningful transition. A member of the Lagos state house of assembly Desmond Elliot said Africans are best positioned to tell their own stories and preserve their culture, commending the festival for promoting African heritage. He called for government intervention to create an enabling environment for the project without interfering in its operations. The ACFTA Fest is scheduled to be held from March 26th to 28th, 2026, in Abuja, Nigeria. Subscribe to our Channel for high profile interviews.
