Layo Bakare-Okeowo, Vice-President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and MD/CEO of FAE Limited, has attributed the success of her envelope-making company to its predominantly female workforce.
With 70% of her staff being women, Bakare-Okeowo believes that their attention to detail and finicky nature make them ideal for envelope making.
She added that persistent transportation challenges continue to undermine the agreement’s goal of seamless intra-African trade, despite Nigeria’s active role in promoting the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
