The Minister of Finance, Dr #NgoziOkonjo-Iweala, said on Monday that Nigeria’s economy constituted 76 per cent of the economy of Economic Community of West African States, #ECOWAS.
Okonjo-Iweala made the assertion a news conference on the World Economic Forum on Africa beginning in Abuja on Wednesday.
She said that aside from the ECOWAS economy, Nigeria also held 30 per cent of the economy in sub-Saharan Africa and 21 per cent of Africa’s economy.
The minister said that it was, therefore, meaningful that the economic forum on Africa was being held in Nigeria.
