New FEWACCI president to push for barrier-free trade in W/Africa

Mr Drammeh, new FEWACCI President
The newly elected president of the Federation of West African Chambers of Commerce and Industry is poised to undertake an initiative that will remove the various barriers placed in the way of regional trade and development in West Africa. 

The Gambia’s Bai Matarr Drammeh, who was recently elected as president of the Federation of West African Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FEWACCI), has said his topmost priority is to promote the free flow of goods as well as movement of people, which is in line with the ECOWAS Commission’s vision of enhancing private sector growth in the region.

“My number one priority which I am embarking on right now is to push for the realization of a sea link project,” said Mr Drammeh, who was elected at the 2nd Annual General Meeting of FEWACCI, held in Cotonou, Benin, in September this year.
