An excited Ezenagu said; “I am thrilled to join Strathmore University and lead the AfCFTA Policy Centre in its mission to promote economic integration in Africa.
"The AfCFTA represents a historic opportunity for the continent, and I am committed to leveraging our expertise to support its successful implementation.”
