Advancing African Trade: Afreximbank’s AQAC Groundbreakings in Nigeria! Afreximbank proudly announces the groundbreaking of two African Quality Assurance Centres (AQACs) in Kaduna and Imo States, Nigeria, advancing Africa's ability to meet global standards and thrive in international trade. 📌 Kaduna State AQAC: This centre will focus on the food and agriculture sectors while supporting the packaging and leather industries, bridging critical gaps in quality testing and compliance. 📌 Imo State AQAC: Set to house Nigeria’s first-ever Crude Oil Assay Laboratory, this centre will revolutionize the oil and gas industry with advanced crude and gas testing. It will also collaborate with the Ogun State AQAC to enhance food and agriculture testing capabilities. These centres will help in: ➡️ Tackling non-tariff barriers to trade by providing testing, inspection, and certification services. ➡️ Boosting Nigeria’s export potential in food, agriculture, oil, and gas. ➡️ Supporting regional harmonization of technical regulations to promote intra- and extra-African trade. These AQACs are milestones in Afreximbank’s IMPACT 2026 Plan, building a stronger, more prosperous Africa. #Afreximbank #AQAC #AfricaTrade #GlobalStandards #KadunaState #ImoState
