"The Borderless 2014 conference in Lagos will be well-positioned to reach the developing markets in the Sub-region, from the commercial heart of West Africa. It will also be the most important advocacy and informational event around,” said Ziad Hamoui, President of the Borderless Alliance.
The MD/CEO of NEXIM Bank, Mr. Roberts Orya, maintains that “…supporting strategic initiatives, such as the Borderless Alliance, which seek to minimize or totally remove non-tariff barriers to trade across the ECOWAS sub-region and Africa, is pivotal to NEXIM Bank’s mandate to promote and deepen the export of non-oil products and services.” He reiterated the commitment of the Bank to facilitating the Regional Sealink Project which is expected to provide maritime connectivity for enhanced movement of persons, goods and services across Africa.
The Borderless Alliance, a regional advocacy organization established in 2011, works to promote and facilitate cross-border trade and reduce procedural inefficiencies.
