I’m grateful for this kind of opportunity posed to Africa especially for my country Sierra Leone. I want to believe more focus will be to my country because we’ve been behind for long in development due to several misfutunes.
Again, I appreciate the limit indicated but I want to appeal to stretch it to 50.
Thanks for your understanding. Long live Africa long live AfCFTA CONNECT.
