PUBLIC-PRIVATE SECTOR DIALOGUE ON REGIONAL INTEGRATION
2021-05-12 17:00 - 2021-12-15 22:00 | Heaton Park, Mt Road M25 2SW
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was established for the purpose of promoting economic integration. To achieve this aim, ECOWAS adopted certain instruments including ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme, Free Movement Protocol, the Common Industrial policy, the Supplementary protocol on Competition and of late the Common External Tariff (CET) which should aid trade across the region. However, despite all these, achieving regional integration still poses to be a challenge in West Africa.
To address this challenge, NANTS in collaboration with GIZ therefore decided to conduct a 2– day dialogue bringing together stakeholders in the public and private sector to identify best methods achieving regional integration for the good of Nigeria and West Africa region.

SENSITIZING FARMERS AT STATE LEVELS ON THE AGRCULTURAL BUDGET.
2016-05-12 10:00 - 2016-12-15 15:00 | Benue State, Nigeria
Event Overview

Nigerians at the grassroots are mostly consulted only during electoral periods and are neglected when policy issues which concerns them are raised. For this reason, NANTS puts in the effort to sensitize citizens at the grass root levels on decisions taken by the federal government particularly on issues around agriculture and trade.
NANTS in partnership with Oxfam sensitized small scale farmers in Benue and Plateau states on the 2016 proposed agricultural budget.
The farmers were enlightened on how best to advocate for more investments in agriculture through the national budget.
