The United States of America Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard, at the weekend, disclosed that Nigeria would continue to be eligible for preferential trade access to the US market under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

A statement by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment said that Leonard, on a visit to the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, had said Nigeria became eligible after a review of the criteria set by the US Congress under AGOA.

AGOA criteria also required the benefitting country to respect internationally-recognised human rights. The US ambassador, however, expressed her government concern on the availability and accessibility of US firms to forex, particularly their ability to repatriate revenue and fulfill loan obligations in timely manner, child labour and respect for the rule of law, the statement further said.
