The Lead of the ATCG Information and Business Network sub-group, Iyin Aboyeji had this to say, “While building Flutterwave and Andela I experienced the growing pains of building a Pan-African business without the necessary support or information.”
“The launch of ATCG means no one else will have to experience the same pains. MyAfCFTA nodes and the information and support they will provide will ensure that. The true promise of AfCFTA is that we can enable African companies scale their businesses across Africa. I’m excited that today we have begun the journey of fulfilling that promise with the ATCG nodes.”
