North Africa PostComments Off on Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria to build super costal highway

Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria have revived talks for a regional highway that will link the two countries, boosting the movement of people and goods.

The project is being discussed at an ECOWAS summit dominated by political issues and divisions with landlocked states.

Construction of the highway is expected to start in 2026 for a total estimated cost of $15 billion.

Intra-ECOWAS trade accounts for a significant portion of the region’s economic activity. In 2022, it represented about 8.53% of the total trade within the community.
