Introduction

African countries continue to pursue programmes and activities aimed at accelerating regional integration and cooperation arrangements on the continent. Regional integration has been part of the major agendas of African leaders in line with the objectives of the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community, also known as the Abuja Treaty, promulgated in 1991 and in force in 1994. The ultimate objective of the Abuja Treaty is the formation of an African Economic Community.
