President Buhari do yarn say him na very slow reader. The president yarn so as he host one joint press briefing with visiting South African president Cyril Ramaphosa .
He dey yarn on why he never sign the Continental Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) , the president yarn say:-
“I am very careful about what I sign whether it is my cheque book or agreements especially when it involves nations and states. As your president has said, we are so populated and have so many young unemployed citizens and our industries are just coming up. So, in trying to guarantee employment, goods and services in our country, we have to be careful with agreements that will compete maybe successfully against our upcoming industries. I was presented with the document. I am a very slow reader maybe, because I am an ex- soldier. I didn’t read it fast enough before my officials saw that it was all right for signature. I kept it on my table. I will soon sign it.”
The CFTA na agreement wey 44 African countries don gree to sign to form $2.5 trillion continental free-trade zone, with the view to help the continent “create a single continental market for goods and services, with free movement of business persons and investments”.
