Dr. Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh, Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, has urged stronger public-private partnership (PPP) collaboration among ECOWAS member states. Ewalefoh highlighted Nigeria's Customs Modernisation Project, also known as B’Odogwu, as a successful example of a PPP model with the potential for replication across Africa.
This project, recently adopted by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, is set to generate $3.1 billion in concessions, benefiting approximately 50 AfCFTA member countries and serving a single continental market of around 1.3 billion people. Ewalefoh emphasized that Nigerian PPPs can generate innovations that can be exported to other African economies, showcasing the country's capacity for regional cooperation through port infrastructure and major transport corridors like the Abidjan–Lagos Corridor Highway.
